My Take

Emppu Vuorinen is, to me, one of those unsung architects of a sound. As a founding member of Nightwish, he helped build symphonic metal into something stadiums could hold, yet he rarely hogs the spotlight. That a band of that scale grew out of tiny Kitee in North Karelia still amazes me. Born in 1978 and the eldest of five, he strikes me as the steady, craftsman type, a guitarist content to serve the song rather than dominate it. I have a lot of respect for musicians like that. Bands endure because someone is quietly holding the whole thing together.
