I remember when i met this person for the first time (he is now one of my best friends) and after about a week or two i still didnt know his name and just kept saying "oi you". I did know his gender though :)
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
