Biography
Finnish bassist, born September 26, 1976. He is best known as the former bassist for Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. After the release of the band's first album, Nightwish members Emppu Vuorinen, Tuomas Holopainen, and Jukka Nevalainen remembered Vänskä from his work with Nattvindens Gråt, and asked if he wanted to play with them. Vänskä was the bassist of the band from 1998-2001. Following the release of the band's first EP Over The Hills And Far Away and its tour, Holopainen asked the band's manager, Ewo Pohjola, to tell Vänskä to leave Nightwish, when he felt that the musical differences between the two men were posing a threat to the band.
