Non-players expects that everyone that plays is a radio/cd and if they don't reproduce the original exactly they aren't any good. I have heard this comment from many non-players as we watched a cover band play. Oh, and if you don't play anything they know, you aren't any good then either.
2 reasons why I didn't bother playing out when I was younger.
