Emppu Vuorinen

Erno "Emppu" Matti Juhani Vuorinen (nacido el 24 de junio de 1978, Finlandia), 

es el guitarrista de la banda de metal sinfónico Nigthwish.

Empezó a tocar la guitarra a los 12 años y desde entonces ha tocado en bandas como Altaria, 

Darkwoods My Betrothed y Nigthwish, estando en esta última desde sus comienzos.

 Como el compositor principal de Nightwish es el teclista de la misma Tuomas Holopainen, 

Emppu suele tocar riffs extraños para guitarra ya que la mayoría son compuestos con el teclado en mente. Vuorinen también es conocido por su estatura, mide 165 cm,

 y apodado coloquialmente como el "chico bajo".

En el año 2003 Vuorinen es parte de un proyecto alterno del actual vocalista de la 

banda Argentina Rata BlancaAdrian Barilari,

  cuyo apellido lleva el nombre de dicho proyecto, siendo Vuorinen parte esencial de la composición 

y producción del proyecto junto a

 Jens Johansson (Stratovarius) Sami Vanska (ex-Nightwish) y Jukka Nevalainen(Nightwish).

En enero del 2004, Altaria y Vuorinen acordaron que sería mejor para todos si dejase esa banda,

 poniendo toda la atención y énfasis en Nightwish. Desde 2006,

Brother Firetribe se convirtió en su nuevo proyecto paralelo.

Canción de Nigthwish

Finally the hills are without eyes They are tired of painting a dead man's face red With their own blood They used to love having so much to lose Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Bye bye beautiful Jacob's ghost for the girl in white Blindfold for the blind Dead siblings walking the dying earth Noose around a choking heart Eternity torn apart Slow toll now the funeral bells ”I need to die to feel alive” Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting Bye bye beautiful Bye bye beautiful It's not the tree that forsakes the flower But the flower that forsakes the tree Someday I'll learn to love these scars Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words ...How blind can you be, don't you see... ...that the gambler lost all he does not have... Did you ever hear what I told you Did you ever read what I wrote you Did you ever listen to what we played Did you ever let in what the world said Did we get this far just to feel your hate Did we play to become only pawns in the game How blind can you be, don't you see You chose the long road but we'll be waiting Bye bye beautiful  Bye bye beautiful
