Watch Stranger Things' Eddie Munson Actor Meet Metallica For First Time
WARNING: This post contains SPOILERS for Stranger Things season 4.
StrangerThings actor Joseph Quinn meets Metallica in a new video. Quinn played Stranger Things fan-favorite character Eddie Munson, a metal head and Dungeons & Dragons player introduced in season 4 of the hit Netflix series. Eddie ran Hawkins High's Hellfire Club, a D&D group that Mike and Dustin (Finn Wolfhard and Gaten Matarazzo) join when they begin high school. Over the course of Stranger Things season 4, Eddie goes from being accused of murder and considering himself a coward, to eventually having a heroic but fatal standoff with some demobats in the Upside Down while playing Metallica's «Master of Puppets.» This scene not only added to Quinn's beloved performance as the sweet and misunderstood Eddie, but also made the character a cultural icon.
Eddie's «Masters of Puppets» scene is one of his most important moments in Stranger Things season 4. It perfectly ends Eddie's arc as he decides to protect is friends rather than to keep running away. Since the Stranger Things season 4 finale dropped back on July 1, Eddie's now-iconic Metallica scene has taken over TikTok and other social media platforms. The originators of «Master of Puppets,» Metallica, also previously praised Quinn's role as Eddie and his performance of their song. While the heavy metal band said they were glad that «Master of Puppets» was such an important aspect of Eddie's arc, Quinn himself could never dream of what would happen next.
