With their killer stage show and mayhem antics the band doesn't dissappoint fans.

Pete Blackbone...aka... Axl Rose (front man/vocals)

Pete Blackbone originally from New York, started singing in the boys glee club back
back in pre-prep (The Fay school in Southborough, Mass. ) in 8th grade and continued
singing in prep school (Choate in Wallingford, Conn. ) in their chorus. Although not developing
his vocals for rock until college he was always a big fan of power chords and rippin vocals.
At the University of Arizona he formed a band with a roommate called the Sex Injections.
The name was quickly changed to Asking Alice. Having moved to New York to pursue his career
in the rock industry he reformed the group in the Asking Alice name. After four years in New York
he moved to Hollywood, Ca. with his manager under the band name and the act grew close to being signed with a record label. Moving to Phoenix. Az. in 2009 he got a call from former bandmates in the band (from his Cat Club on Sunset showing) now known as the Voodoo Groove Cats to sing for their remaining European summer tour. Being great friends he said yes and a week later landed in Paris was performing live with the band. Still with the Voodoo Groove Cats and releasing two EP's since he brings his live antics and stage presence to the Recipe for Disaster show!

Rx Rock...aka...Slash (lead guitar)

Rx has the unique style of Saul Hudson (aka Slash). He has played in many local Phoenix and national acts. He has performed in premier venues such as The Blooze and the Marquee. He is a man of few words, and lets his guitar do the talking. His tone is impeccable, must see and hear to believe!

 

Jay Codina...aka...Gilby Clarke (2nd lead/rhythm guitar)

Jay originally hails from the San Francisco Bay Area. He played with Roulette and Control, which had a local radio hit with "Don't Blame It on the Blues" on KRQR FM. He then relocated to the Phoenix area, where his bands have included Electric Mud, Blue Tattoo, Aerotrain (tribute to Aersosmith) and AZ Top (Tribute to ZZ Top). Jay is currently the rhythm guitarist for Recipe for Disaster (tribute to Guns-n-Roses). Jay's Keith Richards rhythm and slide guitar style makes him a perfect fit for the Gilby/Izzy spot.


 

Jeffrey Lake..aka...Duff McKagan (bass guitar)

It was the late 1970's when Jeffrey was growing up in Toledo, Ohio.
The punk band Necros was looking for a bass player and Jeffrey (wanting to be in a band)
went out and bought a Gibson grabber bass and after joining the band recorded with them their first single..He left Necros in 1980 for Los Angeles, Ca., knowing the punk scene was exploding there.He and some high school friends formed a band called Symbol Six who went on to sign a recording deal with Posh Boy Records.
In 2010 Jeffrey recorded his last record with Symbol Six then moved to Phoenix. Az. where he soon began his role as the killer bass player in "Recipe for Disaster" The Guns n Roses Tribute band he is currently touring with.

Doug Buckley...aka...Steven Adler (drums)

Doug has played in Arizona for many years. One of the true great local drummers, his thunderous sound will turn your brain into mashed potatoes! His unique style is reminiscent of the funky style of Steven Adler and the explosive percussion of Matt Sorum. He truly is the engine of the band!
