I'm a German tone guy (WTF!? lol)

If you cut your mids too much, you'll never cut through in a band situation. The guitars voice is in the midrange. In a mix, if you have just bass and treble on your amp, the highs will get swallowed up by the cymbals, and the low end will get destroyed by the bass.
The idea in a band situation is to give each instrument its own place. When you're in your bedroom no mids full treble and bass can sound alright, but it will sound horribly thin when you try to play along with other people.
