Watch Stranger Things Cast React to Eddie's Metallica Scene
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things Season 4.
In a new video, Stranger Things stars Joe Keery and Maya Hawke watch the scene where their co-star Joseph Quinn shreds the guitar to Metallica's «Master of Puppets.» Quinn plays Season 4's Eddie Monson, Hawkins High School's Dungeons & Dragons Hellfire club leader.

With Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Eddie distracts Vecna to give the others time to kill him, finally grabbing his guitar and erupting into the «Master of Puppets» riff to keep Vecna's monsters at bay.

Soon after the episode's release, the band posted themselves performing «Master of Puppets» alongside Eddie on their TikTok account, captioning the video, «Eddie, this is for you!» The video has amassed almost 9 million views and over 2 million likes in three days. In addition, «Master of Puppets» shot to the top of the iTunes rock chart last week, 36 years after Metallica released it in March 1986.
