Nah….shure sm-57's and 58's are all anyone really needs. Unless yer in a rockabilly band and need one of those big goofy Elvis mics. Seriously though, having been in a few bands and known scores…I'm hard pressed to think of any one that hauled them around unless there was some sort of special circumstance or application.
If you need 57s and 58s, yeah the clubs all have those. Now people use 91's on the kick, special overheads (beyond 81's), other whacky things on guitars, and betas and audix mics for the vocals. These they will usually carry as not everywhere has a great mic selection. But this really applies to touring bands.
