Los Straightjackets have in their contract rider, "No Monitors". Even when they
play 20,000+ venues with Tom Petty, etc., "No Monitors". They even ask to have
them removed from the stage so no one gets tempted. After you've been screwed
over a few times by "Sound Engineers" it's easy to see how they could go to
these lengths.
There is also a problem with "phase". If you your guitar amp speaker begins it's
first movement by moving towards the grill cloth, and the monitor speaker is
doing the same while pointing the opposite way, they will tend to cancel each
other out which makes everybody try to turn both up that causes more problems. I
have just installed a phase switch in my tour amp that can help correct the
problem.

monitors are the key for the band!
You need a trusty sound man to assure the sound is right on the mains and
then keep the volume on the monitors cranked to each players liking.
The important thing is that band members can hear eachother and you are not
getting feed back.
Splash, rick!
