Ultimate Guitar.com interview....

Interesting tidbits on stuff from the past present and future.

Totally agree with him on Emppu's playing in this comment...

“For the Heart I Once Had” has another great bass pumping 1/8th note part. Emppu’s guitar solo is so lyrical on this one.

Yeah, I agree. From my point of view if we talk about the guitar work that Emppu does, the guy really has an extreme sense of melody a lot of times. And that is something which I really like because he’s got the sense of what’s happening beneath him and then he goes there and he hits the right notes. What I mean is, most of us have had some musical schooling but we are not like professional studio virtuosos or anything like that. We’re all pretty much self-educated guys and for us to have that kind of an understanding is really great.
