Someone please tell me WHY a guitar player needs 2 4X12 cabinets and 100 watts or more blasting on a venue the size of Wendys?

Make that 2 guitar players tonight with that and a bass with a 4x10 and 15 bottom. The stage was smaller than my bedroom

HOW is the FOH supposed to mix this crap? I dont get it.
You can get plenty of TONE and crank with a 40 or 60 watt amp, heck even a 20 watt

If Im mixing FOH I just shut your fader down since I have NO CONTROL over the mix anyway. Are all guitarists that stupid?. Dude, my tone. Yep your the ONLY one hearing it since your washing out the mains in my mix.
BTW, they wont turn them down either

I understand in the 80's for an Arena Show but come on, really????
