The only time really when it is necessary to hear boot messages as they occur, is if you're booting a fresh kernel you've just built, that may not be configured correctly, (I.E. not have the necessary ide/sata/scsi/whatever controller included, not have the root file system included, ETC.), and you need to hear the boot messages in case of a kernel panic, so that you can review the screen, and see where things blew-up.
