I have botha 5150 head and a XXX (which is a combo).

The XXX FAR FROM sucks. and i wouldn't say the 5150 stomps all over it either!! It's a great punchy metal tone and is VERY tight. I prefer the 5150's smoothness, but i use a head and mesa cab. I prefer the XXX for versatility because it has three independent channels...

My other guitarist has a XXX and teamed together it sounds amazing. Regardless of who's endorsed by what, it doesn't really prove what amp is better...but it's their opinion (which of course they are entitled to). But I wouldn't slam an amp because one band says it sucks and moved on to another company...then again, my my opposite opinion isn't right either. Just a perspective to take.
