No argument there. I wondered though, when I heard Ricky's first note if the mic placement might not have been optimal. Hard to see exactly what's going on in the video, but it looks like they're using different mic setup/configurations (to me anyway).
The other variable (as mentioned) is the tone-guard. Not a great advertisement for their worth.
