Metallica Responds to Stranger Things Season 4 Finale Eddie Scene
Metallica has responded to Eddie Munson's killer Stranger Things finale scene. The hit Netflix original series began streaming in July of 2016 and has since become Netflix's most-watched English-language television series. The first volume Stranger Things season 4 was released on May 27, 2022, and the second volume hit Netflix on July 1. Earlier this year, the show's creators (the Duffer Brothers) revealed that the next season of the series would be its last and will likely premiere sometime in 2024.
Introduced in the most recent season of the series, metalhead, guitarist, and Dungeons and Dragons lover Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) quickly became a fan favorite. In season 4's climactic finale, Eddie creates a distraction to save his friends in the Upside Down by shredding Metallica's «Master of Puppets» on his electric guitar, drawing a hoard of demonic bats towards him. While the episode has only been out for less than a week, the sequence has already gone down in Stranger Things history, with many fans considering it to be one of the most badass scenes in the entire series.

Metallica goes on to say that they were blown away by the final product of the sequence, and have been taken aback by how many fans could name their song just from seeing Quinn's hands move on the guitar frets in the episode's trailer.
