downzy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 that might be accurateI remember hearing reports back when they played some Russian oil tycoon's birthday party that it was around $1 million. Wonder how that breaks down for the band? Axl get half? Maybe it would be cheaper to just hire Axl and rent a piano. Might cut your cost down by $500k.

downzy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 In your negotiations with the band, remind them that on The Drew Carey Show, Drew paid Foghat $500 and they had to help clean up after the party was over. Go from there.Cheers,Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandyk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Way more than what should ever be charged for a glorified cover band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 About a million for most people but when Axl hears who's asking he'll make it ten million, stop the show after three songs and expect a blowjob before he leaves! The thing is, the OP would think it was the greatest thing in the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARX77 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 How much would it cost me to get Guns to play at my birthday party?I'm thinking of saving up. Of course you guys are invited.to answer your question seriously because honestly if you have to "save up" you cant afford them. I would say a lot would depend on the specifics... do you want full production? acoustic only? all the members? Are they currently passing through town because they are already touring?? they were making around 200K per show during UCAP just to put it in perspective. so i would say thats your minimum number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saber_ Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I guess we should just be thankful no one's suggested surreptitiously hiring Slash and Axl unbeknownst to eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If they would agree to play a birthday party, I say 1.5 million. Then the money you need for the items in their dressing rooms (laundry room) . Would you have a piñata ? I bet Frank would destroy that thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
