I get that a lot of people get turned off by "the drama," whatever that means, of RTTP life. But if you're in a "metal" band why wouldn't you want to interact with the people you're going to be playing shows with, the people that are going to be listening to your music, the people you're going to be borrowing gear from, and apologizing to when you pretend to get stuck in traffic but really you just think you're too good to play 3rd.

To me it comes off as just a little bit unfriendly, a little bit ignorant, and a little bit poser-ish to try and bypass RTTP.
