i think for Ritchie, he probably had no real attachment to the songs (unless he just did not want to deal with Jon on any level or he needed the money to invest in his solo career) Jon on the other hand appears very much attached to his songs
I really appreciate Jon wanting to keep his music catalog. I understand why other musicians sell their catalogs, but there is something cool about holding on to things that you create and holding them close
People are going to listen to his songs whether he is alive or dead, and whether he owns them or not. At some point every genre of music goes out of favor, as musical tastes change with the generations, so I would say " show me the money"
It's all estate planning. My guess is Jon reviewed it with his adult children and they agree not to sell. The value will increase for sure. The only problem is as Jon's kids have kids and the amount of people involve expands then it gets messy. I would not be surprised if Jon sells his catalogue as he reaches his late 70's.
Why sell your catalogue? If you want to give your family economic security. Sell it. But if they are economically secure, let the ownership of the catalog stay in the family. That way, your legacy will provide for generations.
Not really… musical taste change over time. Do you really think people are going to be listening to bon jovi in 30 years??? That applies to any star/band. Elvis, the beatles, harry styles, etc..
@@infiniteeicactually IMHO some bands have greater shelf life than others. Beatles Stones have greater shelf life than say Bj Thomas poor example but you get the drift...bon Jovi I don't see a Beatles type shelf life
@@infiniteeic That's what they said 30 years ago, and now its 40 and everyone still knows their songs. And the Beatles were 60 years ago and still everyone knows their songs.
I don't understand how this works. If you co wrote a song and half is Jon's the other is Richie's that Jon has control over what happens to that song. Does Jon have fiinal say as to how it's used??
depends on the publishing agreement between the co writers which would be inherited by the purchasers.Control remains as is-its just you are dealing with a new owner.
Jon is absolutely pissed that Richie sold his part of the catalog. His reaction when Howard told him says everything.
i agree but how could he not have known? Richie sold them some years ago
Damn, that didn’t go well ..
Did not seem upset to me
i think for Ritchie, he probably had no real attachment to the songs (unless he just did not want to deal with Jon on any level or he needed the money to invest in his solo career) Jon on the other hand appears very much attached to his songs
Wonder if he had a opportunity to buy them from Ritchie?

@@HamiltonRbhe doesn’t need the money. He’s loaded
It's a good investment.

Great Jon. Great way of thinking.
Desmond Child had to have a cut of a few of those hits.
desmond has said in interviews that he gets paid up front
And hit albums as well!
Does Desmond get royalties? Because a lot of the jovi songs that are heavily played on the radio today are co-written by Desmond
@@bill-hc4vh Absolutely he does.
Completely surprised Ritchie would do this with his music
probably needed the money to finance his solo career
Good for you jon for bring pissed. He could of kept them in the family and dold them to him. Im thinking jon might of wanted to buy them
Jon has had that same watch since the mid 80s

@@infiniteeicI actually do. We were listening 30 years ago and we're still listening now. Same with Joel, The Stones, Queen and so many others.
@@infiniteeicactually IMHO some bands have greater shelf life than others. Beatles Stones have greater shelf life than say Bj Thomas poor example but you get the drift...bon Jovi I don't see a Beatles type shelf life
@@infiniteeicthe people paying hundreds of millions of dollars for catalogs seem to think it’s worth it

People commenting Bon Jovi only wrote 2-3 good songs, give your heads a shake. Play These Days or Crush end-to-end then come back and say that…
These days the greatest album of the 90s if it was by any other band the critics would have been Ravi g

No he doesn’t he has new business partners now….and they will use there investment to make money…very messy…

KISS just sold their catalog for around $300 million……generational wealth immediately
This Catalogue Is Not For Sale
Jon is livid
Does London own the Jovi catalogue ?
Howard Stern, catalog broker. Is he getting a cut from Concord or Sound Royalties?
Mad money to make there!
Id sell for an astronomical amount
Hahahaha. Does Desmond Child get his money?
Yes.
❤❤
I’m sure he could get at least a hundred dollars!
Does Jon have his teeth?
Really?!!!
Love Jon, but wow...age catches up to all of us I guess.
Jon looks great, he's 62 and is harder working than any 20 something.
Got to watch the wild times, I would imagine.
A lot? They had 2 good records.
Seriously you should listen to more of them albums. I agree it was crap after Richie left
@@tommigun102470 Did you see the documentary on HULU? If not, you should. Very interesting.
In your opinion!
Not even close. Pretty much everything up until 2000 is gold! Then it became sanitised radio mom rock.
