You light candles, you blow them out. Not you light candles and the walls burn to the ground.
Besides, their last album sold enough copies so they could buy whatever they lost 100 times over. |

Sometimes it ends up only being a little thing and we learn and nothing more happens. Sometimes we learn the really hard way and have a big problem instead. They're just fortunate that they have more than enough dosh to cover this bill.

With their success, there are now cookie cutter bands imitating the Peas, but they were fairly original and are very good. I listen to them regularly, even though rap/hip hop isn't my thing.

Not really into the BEPs, but I feel for them. I sure hope that most of the stuff was insured. They do need to learn their lesson about candles, though.

Maybe recording equipment, but seriously, what can cost $500k that they have? They are a mostly vocal hip hop group. I dont expect tons of guitars or anything that costs that much. |
