'Stranger Things' Season 4 Volume 2: Eddie shreds 'Master of Puppets', fans call it 'win for every metalhead'

Eddie Munson played Metallica's 'Master of Puppets' in Vecna's backyard and fans went absolutely berserk

Spoilers for 'Stranger Things' Season 4 Volume 2

The trailer for ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 Volume 2 revealed that Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) will be using his guitar in the Upside Down and since then, viewers have been curiously waiting to see which song he’ll be playing on the musical instrument. For the uninitiated, Nancy, Steve, Robin, Eddie, Max, Lucas, Dustin, and Erica make a plan to kill Vecna and divide the plan into four different phases.

One of the phases is to distract the bats living in the Upside Down so that when they are about to kill Vecna, these bats are busy somewhere else. So, the responsibility of distracting the bats was given to Eddie and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo). While in Upside Down, they go inside Eddie’s trailer to find the guitar and he puts on a show for the beings of Upside Down after that.
