'Stranger Things' Season 4 Volume 2: What song is Eddie Munson shredding in the Upside Down?
We all knew that Eddie Munson would take out his trusty guitar and put on a show in Volume 2 of ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4. However, what we didn’t know is the song that he was going to play on this gorgeous-looking instrument. So, it all starts when Nancy, Steve, Robin, Dustin, Max, Lucas, Erica, and Dustin make a plan to kill Vecna. The plan was divided into four phases and one of the phases was to distract the bats of Upside-Down so that Vecna can be killed.
The responsibility for distracting the bats was given to Eddie and Dustin. So, they had already mapped out what they needed to do. Once they are in the Upside-Down, they reach Eddie’s trailer to execute the plan. As soon as they are inside the trailer, he looks at the guitar and says, "this beautiful machine was built for something extraordinary and this is the moment."
