There are different amps to suit different styles of guitar music. You can get that authentic sound by getting yourself an effects program that can replicate many of the vintage amp sounds. For playing heavy metal high gain amps are the way to go. These amps give you greater distortion than the vintage amps.
The message here is to get a practice amp or an amp that's small enough to play through without making your family and neighbors mad. To use for practice or for small gigs you need a low wattage amp. Don't let a guy in a guitar store sell you a big bad amp with a boatload of effects. The thing that makes the sound of your electric guitar into a nice tone is your pre-amp.

What Guitar Amp Should You Get?
Stick with trusted brand names when buying an amp. If you are a beginning guitar player and need an amp, this is obviously no time to start up a rare collection.
A practice amp will generally contain one, 12 inch or 10 inch speaker, which is plenty of sound. However, if you think that you might be jamming with some people any time soon, I would suggest going ahead and getting an amp with two, 12 inch speakers.
Now days amp technology has improved so much some guitar amp models can actually record a little bit of music, loop it, have plug in features for stereo headphones (so you don't bother mom and dad), and some even have USB connections made available for easier recording purposes.

Thanks for the tip about the pre amp - didn't know that was important. Now I'm off to google "pre amp" to see if I can do something about my old stratocaster copy.
