What's "inappropriately loud" mean?

Example: One band I'm playing with. We practice in a 12x15 room. One
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.

Let's put it this way: Blues only sells in a small number of clubs here. In
those places, these volume levels will clear the room, and the band won't
get jobs. Since they searched for 4 months to find a bass player (me), I
think I have some leverage to teach new behavior. What's appropriate is
directly related to sales, which many artists don't like to think about.
