Those mics are more about what they don't pick up very well (like screaming drums and cymbals right behind the singer on a live stage) and thus give you isolation and control in difficult live stage scenarios. My quip there is a moot point.
Good choice for general live use. Even on a stage where you might be able to get away with better, you should still be able to get pro results. Save your ass on a loud peaky stage.
If however, you were thinking of recording something at your home studio, you'd be pretty disappointed with the cloudy, muddy, midrange honky sound coming out of those style mics! Probably exclaim "WTF" even.
A single medium diaphragm condenser mic would let you track parts one man band style (one at a time) and capture full unmolested sound.
