Who says you can't put a price on dignity. I guess Mick hasn't heard himself sing lately..Without the dubbing and recording studio he sounds horrible!!

Have you seen the Stones live? Not a thing wrong with Mick's voice, live shows are raw and no one can possess a stage like he does.Along with Keith, the ultimate rock star,riffing away like the legend he is, it would be worth every penny!
As for NSYNC, and J-Lo?Hello? There's your studio mixing!

I'm confused about George Michael....3.3 million?! Is he serious? I wouldn't go to a free concert preformed by him!

If I had $7 million I would have them play for my husband. He has been a Rolling Stones fan for a very very long time. This would be the "BEST GIFT" I could ever give him to meet the Rolling Stones. Maybe someday this dream will come true! Even if we don't have $7 million dollars I would just love for him to be able to just meet Mick,Keith,Ron, Charlie and the Band backstage.

It would be worth the 7 million just to ask Keith how he has managed to survive so long doing so many drugs. Amazing!

WORTH EVERY RED CENT!!! If I had that kind of money, you bet your ass I'd pay the Rolling-f******-Stones to play for me! A once in a lifetime (if you're lucky) deal.

seven million dollars? Honestly think about how many Hurricane Katrina victims could have been rescued from those infested trailer homes. This is as bad as the evil b@#$% who left twelve million dollars to her dog. May you both rot in hell. I'm hoping the rolling stones gave something to charity, and hopefully not the nearest street pharmacist.

i was at at this show and it was unbeleivable. he had about 250 people there, and it was sureal most all of his friends just sat at the tables and watched the show. the birthday boy came out and did the introduction, and john melloncamp opened. it was a fantastic 2 hour performance by the stones. mick was joking saying whoever parked your gulfstreem 5 you left your head lights on, and tonight it is the stones tommorow you are having lunch with the pope. i wouldn't change this experience for anything...it was great..

thats crazy money
do they even need it
I dont get the Stones now.. I used to love them but would never pay there crazy ticket prices ive seen them and never paid and met them many many times there great but 7 million
Id rather pay the NY Dolls who are better now than the Stones and I could get a good price Im friends with them..I know how much they make per
but Id pay them extra and then they'd party all night with everyone. If your in NYC go see the DOlls this December check them out on my space
for dates for a kick ass show
I'd also hire GORGOL BARDELLO and it would be the party of a life time
I miss the Stones..no more Salt of the earth stuff coming from them anymore but I still love them..but 7 million
they must of laughed there butts off after at the loonie ness of the guy to pay them and think well that was a easy gig
