Uhhhh...If you say so.

Doesn't explain his comments. The only thing the guy on BMBTL has in common with Shendoah is that they both rap on their respective tracks. In fact, you'd have more ground to stand on (though not a Hell of a Lot) if you compared him to Disturbed's frontman.

Differences:

1. Style: The rapping/male vocals are decidedly stlistically different.
2. Right Place, Right Time: Mike's vocals never seem out of place. The male vocals to BMBTL sound like they were tacked on as an afterthought, and are totally out of place
3. Content: For the most part, the 12 stones guy is only there as background. He gets one major part during the bridge, which becomes a duet instead of a backup deal. Well, we all know Mike's just a backup singer, right? Which is why we have songs like Papercut, In the End, A Place For My Head, and so on.

Yeah. So very identical.

Of course, Chester has come off in my eyes as not musically knowledgable. He talks about how he was special to LP because he could sing in the keys they were writing in. Newsflash, most of the music you write isn't really in awkward keys, and a LOT of people tune in drop D so they CAN get their vocal range to mesh with a guitar.

Maybe hes just not musically competent to understand the difference between the two.
