A bands ability to perform live is generally important.

But how can you expect a band to be big with lots of fans when you won't go see them unless they're already big?

Most bands do perform truly amazing sets, Electric Wizard used to be shit live but when they finally got their speakers to cope with the bass they have quickly built a strong demand for live shows. And I'd far sooner go listen to that than some band with huge fans and half-way music.

"Oh Slipknot are unbelievable live why can't other bands be like them?"
"Have you seen High on Fire play?"
"Who?"

or;

"You should come see this band this Friday their amazing, tickets only 5 bucks at the door"
"Is it a sellout?"
"Nah they're fairly new, not too many people know them"
"Oh nah I'm not too interested"
