There are only so many aspects of the universe we can always count on: The speed of light in a vacuum will always be 671 million miles per hour; Starbucks will always taste like Starbucks; death is inevitable; and the Alice Cooper concert experience will always rock. For decades, the tireless shock-rock pioneer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has brought his joyfully macabre spectacle of mock executions, monster costumes, heavy metal thunder and a set list that never strays from staples like “School’s Out,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” “I’m Eighteen” and “Under My Wheels” to theaters and arenas with absolute consistency. Don’t expect that to change when the 71-year-old Coop welcomes his nightmare to ... wait for it … the Grand Ole Opry House. Nashville-residing alt-rock stars Halestorm co-headline. Neo-goth nu-metal-resurrectors Motionless in White open. 7 p.m. at the Grand Ole Opry House, 2804 Opryland Drive ADAM GOLD
