What's "inappropriately loud" mean?

guitarist has a 4x12 Marshall cabinet and an amp head that could be used to
play a rather large room. He doesn't know how to turn it down.

That's not "inappropriately loud" that's just a guy who may
(or may not) be a great guitar player but doesn't have a
clue how to play WITH a band.

Dynamics, man, dynamics!

Just say to him, "You ever notice how sometimes, really
really good bands play soft? It, like, emphasiszes certain
parts of the song, plus it makes the loud parts sound even
louder." If you can get this point across, you'll be doing
hims a huge favor. It's part of learning to actually PLAY
rather than just hurling a lot of notes around.
