Pretty similar, in that you'll be basically playing x number of songs in an order over and over. But in LOTRO it's more reactive, if you get a resist on say a Tier 1 damage song it won't unlock Tier 2. So you may end up using another Tier 1 song for the next attempt (which may also get resisted). It's more noticeable when you're fighting monsters 3 or more levels above you.
EDIT: Oh, except that the Minstrel gets heal, revive and feign death.... So, it's more like it includes the EQ Bard abilities while going more hybrid. Really, all LOTRO classes are Hybrids except maybe the Guardian (I'm not sure, I never played one).
