Like what peeps said before.. just cos everyone & their dog seems to be using MArshalls or MB's trust your ears.. chances are that those bands u like with MArshalls & MB's in the video's or playing live, have used a totaly different rig in the studio.
Playing "live" is a one off, the studio is less sympathetic so you need a good solid setup for the tone your trying to record. And the producer & sound eng's have the final word.. usually.
