I saw Rdkopper say in another thread that Jon can't sell out stadiums on his own while the band can so he's more likely to use the band name.

So it got me thinking. I completely disagree and would love a debate about this. Let's say Jon drops the band name and goes full on Jon Bon Jovi (Which to me is the honorable choice as David and Tico become more and more like session musicians with each album). I think Jon could still hit similar numbers, maybe a twinge lower, if he rebranded it under himself. No one is at the point where they know the difference anymore. Multiple music videos with only him, constant promo photos of just him and a declining interest from the world about the band, I really think he could pull it off.

If we were talking about selling out venues based on interest in band material vs solo material, absolutely people are going for the band hits. Would love some thoughts regardless though.
