Ry-Bread 5759 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I’m not sure I believe the Billboard article citing AVA as being included, it says 157 songs....doesn’t he have 150+ in blink? (Hence the blink-155 podcast theme/name) Also interesting that BCR wouldn’t be in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianm14 49 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 My guess is they only bought the hit albums. Dude Ranch -> Neighborhoods ? or less then that. They could’ve written out whatever they felt wouldn’t generate any income. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donald Trump's Bulge 8554 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Adrianm14 said: This sounds like he got a publishing deal that also acquired his back catalog. This isn’t really a bad thing. Sounds like who ever was his publisher before no longer had the rights to the songs he had written. I’m assuming whatever publishing deal he had was exclusive to Blink 182 as he doesn’t really co-write and it wouldn’t make sense to give him a publishing deal as a song writer. Depending on his deal a lot of them cover about 20 years so perhaps his previous one expired and I doubt his previous publisher was pushing his songs to continue to make money. Through sync placements ect. It looks like he signed publishing deal for future songs as well as his back catalogue knowing that no one was currently pushing his music for sync placement. This is actually a smart move, instead of having his previous music just sit, he’ll now have someone working the music to generate money. He would’ve got a lump sum of money for it in exchange for them to work it. 100% sounds like he didn’t want to deal with the potential of it not working out and not generating more sync income. So 100% is an easy way for him to quickly generate money. I really don’t think this is a bad move but fairly smart. The only downside would be that they end up landing a bunch of sync placements and exceed far past his payout in revenue. He is liquidating a substantial amount of assets. It's just hard to imagine him doing that unless it was "necessary". 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NotNow 2718 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 It says they also acquired music from Jack Antonoff at the same time, the biggest alternative pop star / producer in the genre today. I wouldn’t just attribute this to Tom needing money... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would love to know a ballpark range of much blink or similar artists actually bring home annually from past record sales/streaming. I bet it’s shockingly minuscule.

Feeling_This_1 464 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 From what I was reading it sounds like they are on pace to spend over 1 billion dollars and they acquire not just the rights of musicians, but other contributors to songs as well. I'm not sure what the grander plan behind all of this spending is, but a crazy story involving Tom of course. Hopefully he doesn't blow it on TTS and luckily for him his ex wife Jen gets none of it!!

Assets that were built during their marriage. In a marriage, you have rights to some percentage of your household net worth; your assets. Not cash. Him liquidating his assets after his divorce doesn’t mean his ex-wife is no longer entitled to those assets lol. 2. This company didn’t even exist a year ago so no the opportunity didn’t even exist when he was getting divorced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's public information on the various prenuptial agreements that millionaire celebs have signed and there's a very wide range of terms. John Cena for example had a famous divorce where he lost nothing and his ex wife had to return all gifts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1822 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 From wikipedia Hipgnosis Songs Fund is a British Guernsey-registered music IP investment and song management company. Founded on the premise that hit songs are long-term predictable assets unaffected by economic cycles, which will increase in value as the worldwide music streaming market continues to grow,[1] Hipgnosis Songs Fund acquires proven songs and songwriter catalogs and actively manages them to drive synchronization revenues. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 202 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 It doesn't even state he completely sold the rights: Tom DeLonge said: “It is an honor to have been playing music for so many years and to be in a position to partner with the great team at Hipgnosis to support my work." It clearly states he's in a partnership with them. Seems like he'll still get royalties but not to the amount he was getting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghent 17989 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I see the tombot spin doctors are at work! There is no partnership lol. Hipgnosis Songs Fund buys song royalties, gambling that they will get their investment back and more over the long run. That is all they do. Go to their website. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Champ182 4217 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 This is interesting, I'm not even going to try to pretend I know anything about how it works or what it means for Tom haha. Seems like he's in good company at the very least with the other artists who are involved. Strange! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
