A lot of  the time, guitarists are oblivious because they are
standing in completely  the wrong place - right in front of their speakers
where a lot of the sound  waves won't even have formed properly yet; what
they hear are the  attenuated sound refelections. Maybe if they had ears on
their backsides  they'd have a better idea of how everyone else hears them.
The real issue  is of course whether they care. Like I said the guy I work
with does care  about the whole band sound and learnt a lesson that night -
but there are  plenty of ego maniacs out there who wouldn't lose sleep  over
it.


Good observation. Also, I feel that the drummer to be the one that  sets up 
the stage volume. If he plays loud, everyone rises to his level.
