Emppu Vuorinen

His story begins on June 24th 1978 in a Finnish town Kerava and his name is Erno Vuorinen, but he is called Emppu by his friends (because of difficult pronouncing of his real name).

At the age of 11 he started to play acoustic guitar and he practiced every day for hours without anyone to help him. Later played in several bands and changed few different music styles. The thing which will definitely change his life is his contact with Tuomas Holopainen, who talked to him about one project that Emppu considered interesting.

In 1996 Emppu, together with Tuomas, Tarja and Jukka recorded demo for this project called Nightwish. He played parts of the acoustic and bass guitar. First CD he ever bought was Helloween and soon after that he found himself in a metal band which will follow steps of Helloween and ultimately change the borders of metal. He considers himself as a traditional power metal fan and one of his favorite bands is Stratovarius (local patriotism). Who could say that in such a small man (fans are calling him Elf or Hobbit because he is only 160cm tall) there are great guitar skills.

In 1997 he started playing electric guitar for Nightwish and recorded first album with Nightwish – the album which will change everything for him. He played bass parts on this album as well. Although his skills weren’t so noticeable on “Angels Fall First”, it was definitely fixed on next album “OceanBorn”. His skills reached maximum and then Nightwish became one of the famous metal bands in Europe. His energy on concerts is great! Beside other bandmates he gives a lot of physic strength, running from one part of the stage to the other corner all the time, animating the audience and shining on fans, adding to the whole picture of the band.

You all know the jokes Emppu does during the tours (watch “End of Innocence” DVD). He is currently living in a town Kitee where he owns a little studio and likes to record personal works and when he’s not doing that he’s “hanging around”. His guitar idol is Yngwi Malmsteen, although he’s also inspired by Steve Vai. He looks so steady, but the smallest thing can make him angry during the studio sessions. Together with Tuomas he composed music for many Nightwish songs like “Crownless”, “Come Cover Me”, “Slaying the Dreamer” etc.

Beyond work in Nightwish, Emppu played as a guest in many bands. One of the famous bands he worked with was band Altaria but Emppu had to quit working with them because of commitments with Nightwish. He was also a guest on project Beto Vasquez and in band Barilari. He was guest as well on “Aina” project where he played guitar solo for song “Rebellion”.

In May 2004, ESP company made a custom guitar in Emppu’s honor. The model is entitled ESP EV-1 (EV – Emppu Vuorinen) and since then he uses this model. On live shows beside this one he uses Washburn Guitar model CS-780.

Naa pero lo bueno de Emppu es q es moderado no es como la mayoria de guitarristas q hacen solos prolongadisimos y q se dedikn a hacer cada wevada sin groove en mi opinion Emppu es exacto para Nightwish

Si, es exacto en eso si agree... lo que me parece paja es el won en el escenario es LA CAGADA, de ptm el won.

Ya lei quien era. Facil es mejor de lo que parece, no se. Igual no se lucira jamas, Holopainen compone todo y el conocimiento de guitarras de un tecladista clasico es conjunto nulo-vacio-cero-inexistente-no-hay.

No podría dcir de Emppu Vuorinen que es un excelente guitarrista, pero hace su trabajo y va muy bien con Nightwish.
Me di cuenta que no era tan bueno cuando escuché el solo en Symphony of Destruction.
Opinen usteds.

Y si sus riffs son buenos pero mas que eso no se pes... no he escuchado bien el Symphony of Destruction de NW pero si dices que no es tan bueno no se...

See ese riff de Symphony no le sale XD XD, creo q le faltal alguito de level, creo q tiene q llamr a Dave Mustaine para q le enseñe XD XD

es q a nivel de riffs y solos
MEGADETH > Nightbitch

Es q tamb si comparas el Megadeth con Friedman y el Nightwish con Emppu hay una diferencia grande pero lo weno es q Emppu ha progresado

Emppu es buen guitarrista, tiene unos riffs muy buenos.
Aunque no es el típico guitarrista loco, es mas serio.

Emppu es un buen guitarrista me parecia genial hasta escucharlo en el cover de Megadeth "Symphony Of Destruction" un consejo para el es q solo se quede con las canciones de Nightwish ahi suena genial pero como q le falta algo para que sea mas Heavy... no es su estilo!!

Pero bueno en fin muy buen guitarrista...

Especulando por ahí, encontré esta foto de la familia de Emppu. El parecido con la niña de la izquierda es increíble
