I don't recognize either of these songs.
And I owned Band Hero so I'm pretty sure I had to play that one, and i STILL don't remember it.
The two that need to come in from Band Hero:

I can barely remember the Tonic song in Band Hero, only that it exists. Don't even know the other one, I'll give it a listen when I get home.
Man, now I'm going on a BH nostalgia spree. Joss Stone, Nelly Furtado, than one Taylor Swift song with loads of banjo solos. I would easily buy, like, half that soundtrack for RB. Not even including the DS soundtrack(s).

We could be here all day listing all the Guitar Hero songs we want in Rock Band.
I'm still surprised between both GH: A and Rock Band having two separate Aerosmith DLC releases that Last Child still hasn't come back. That song must be unusable.
go watch the GH2 making of songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmdEjIMiIE8

I resorted to playing RB customs of her songs on Phase Shift and still there is only a few.

Time for first playthrough scores, track seperation confirmation and my impressions of this week's DLC!
"If You Could Only See" - Tonic
Expert Guitar: 209,285 | 100% Full Combo | Gold Stars | Tier 3 (Moderate)
Expert Bass: 155,100 | 100% Full Combo | Gold Stars | Tier 4 (Challenging)
Are the tracks seperated?
Sadly, no. Missing notes on guitar causes the guitar track to simply muffle and lower in volume, at the beginning of the song even the vocal track slightly lowers when missing notes on guitar as well. Thankfully that doesn't happen all the way through but still, it's not the real deal! Shame really, seeing as Band Hero got the masters for this one.
"Everything You Want" - Vertical Horizon
Expert Guitar: 280,971 | 100% Full Combo | Gold Stars | Tier 3 (Moderate)
Expert Bass: 99,525 | 100% Full Combo | Gold Stars | Tier 2 (Solid)
Are the tracks seperated?
Confirmed! Was a little tricky to make out at first, considering that the cymbal hits on the drum track syncs up with the acoustic guitar, which threw me off a little, but when the main chorus kicked in and the track switches up to electric guitar I could tell that the tracks were properly seperated. 1 out of 2 is better than none I guess, but I didn't expect this track to be the one with legit track seperation.
Impressions
Like three note chords? Because this weeks DLC on Guitar is all about those! They're fun despite how repetitive they get towards the end, and "If Only You Could See" has a fun little solo to break things up. The bass track on "If Only You Could See" is the real highlight of the week though! Oddly jaunty and off-beat compared to the rest of the songs tracks. Plenty of alt-strumming and hammer-on snaking going on with this one. Overall a solid batch of 90's tracks this week, a bit more fun than I thought they were going to be actually! Two of the better songs from the decade so far this year.

Dang it Harmonix.
Stop cheaping out on songs, especially ones where stems existed previously.
That or only charge $1 for these half-assed no stem songs, because you're selling content that doesn't function properly with your own game design. You should know better.
Yet another 90s song I was ready to buy, but now will pass on.
I don't know if anyone from Harmonix reads this forum, but hopefully they do because I'll complain every time they pull this crap.

Does anybody still have a copy of Band Hero to check and see if the Tonic song has the same stems?

Syncing them up (pause on the first notes of one, then press play when it gets to the first notes on the other) seems to have no drift. Even similar camera angle choices on a lot of cuts.
Both credited as 1996.
It desynced slightly in the last guitar solo, even though vocals stayed synced. That may be a charting or EQ thing, dunno.

Any idea of any of these songs are from the same studios?
Honestly if Harmonix can't acquire actual separated tracks with any consistency anymore, I'm just gonna give up on Rock Band. I'm not OK with paying the same price for these and Harmonix should not be passing these off on customers. For a company all about music, this is really bad form.

So I recently found a RB3 Mustang for dirt cheap and have been messing around with it. What are the best Pro Guitar songs in everyone's opinion?

Well i guess that may be the big red flag.
That doesn't add up though. The Cranberries, Pixies, Interpol and Deep Blue Something aren't on a Sony label, yet lacked proper stems in Rock Band.
Cranberry songs are technical issues with the masters, since they were passed over int he "split masters only" era even though they would have sold well, so we only got Linger. Don't know about the other two.
All of the songs known to have masters 100% (either stems exist in the wild, or exist in another music game with stems) are all Sony currently.
The science isn't solid enough at this point, I'd agree with you on that. We'd have to see what future songs are stemless.

On the plus side, 5 out of 6 of this month's songs so far have had stems, so this month's been pretty solid!

I rebrought Band Hero earlier this year. Fortunately I did get the compatability packs at the time and it added loads of tracks to the base game. Band Hero is my favourite in the guitar Hero series, after DJ Hero 2.
The annoying thing is it even shows those tracks in-game, but greyed out. Kinda wish they had just done the compatibility thing via a title update.
This and the SCEE issues warrant the return of the #blameSONY hashtag

Geez, and I thought the worry about Warner Brothers back in the RB2 days was bad enough. This is even worse. If it's true, if course.
Still, if we get Danger Zone then the lack of split masters will all be worth it.
Edit: Wait, Fuck, Heart are owned by Sony.

Welp, Rock Band Blitz is definitely gonna get delisted next year then. I don't think Give It Away is gonna survive.
edit: Californication and Otherside have Pro Guitar upgrades, for RB3 expiration completionists concerned about that

I don't think that takedown is a surprise to anyone. A shame, but in no way a surprise.
We're getting closer to the end of the RB3 DLC though. Not a huge amount taken down, surprisingly. Some big hitters though.

I had read on Reddit that RHCP are managed by the same guy that manages Metallica and Muse.
So, don't expect to ever see any new dlc from those bands.

Checked the video for Starships since I didn't know the song. WTF did I just watch (briefly)?
Nice to see I'm Yours though, my sister will love it.

So Rocksmith is getting 2 Rush songs Rock Band have never had (Freewill and La Villa Strangiato) go to the requests page on the rock band website and request the shit out of them. Could mean we get them in RB at some point if the record label plays nice!
http://www.harmonixmusic.com/games/rock-band/request/
I've been requesting "Freewill" for a long ass time, get on it RBGaf!
