The actor who played “Master of Puppets” in “Stranger Things 4” received help from Metallica

Among the many thrilling scenes left at the end of the fourth season of “Stranger Things” on Netflix, one of the best moments of the horror and science fiction series is when Eddie Munson starts playing “Master of Puppets”. However, the actor wouldn’t have been able to finish that part if it weren’t for the help of Metallica.

Towards the end of the fourth season, Joseph Quinn, Eddie Munson actor in ‘strange things’, had one of the best moments when he delivered “the best metal concert in history” performing one of the iconic songs of the Los Angeles-based Thrash Metal band.

And is that the songs were a central theme in the fourth season of “Stranger Things” on Netflix, as well as “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush. Now, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Duffer brothers, creators of the series, have said so they didn’t know Joseph Quinn played guitar and was a Metallica fan.

They sent me a couple of emails asking if I played guitar and I said yes. Then they sent the script. I walked over and almost imploded and went to buy a guitar as soon as I could and started practicing, ”Quinn replied.

After a few hours of practice on ‘Master of Puppets’, Joseph Quinn said the song was “my most listened to song on Spotify for two consecutive years”. However, for the Netflix series, Eddie Munson’s actor had to need someone else’s help.

Metallica member’s son helped on “Stranger Things”

It is true that Joseph Quinn had to play ‘Master of Puppets’ in real time for the scene of ‘strange things’to the Upside Down, but not all you hear are his fingers, as additional guitar arrangements were played by Tye Trujillo, son of Robert Trujillo and current bassist of the band Metallica, as well as by Kirk Hammett, the guitarist, who composed some settings for the sequence.

At 17, Tye Trujillo is already recognized in the music industry, and not only for being the son of Metallica bassist, but also for being part of OTTTO, a heavy metal band that has shared the stage with world-class groups such as Korn and suicidal tendencies.

And although his father is proud of the work on ‘Stranger Things’, as he shared on social networks, Joseph Quinn also used a double to record his hands playing guitar, musician Aidan Fisher. Since, according to him, he is “an actor, I’m not a heavy metal guitarist. So I left this brilliant guitarist. “
