Wearing Hellfire Club shirts, Metallica holds Master of Puppets 'duet' with Eddie Munson of Stranger Things
It's not yet the end of passion play for Metallica, as the legendary metal band continues to show its love for Stranger Things and Eddie Munson.
In case you didn't know, the newcomer and instant fan favorite Eddie (Joseph Quinn) played an abridged version of Master of Puppets—including the Kirk Hammett shreds—during a pivotal scene in the fourth season's finale.
Eddie broke the internet with his performance, and Metallica was all praises for him, saying it's "totally blown away" with how its 1986 classic was used in the sci-fi series.
Now, Metallica—James Hetfield (vocals, rhythm guitar), Lars Ulrich (drums), Hammett (lead guitar), and Robert Trujillo (bass)—just had a "duet" with Eddie on TikTok.
In a minute-long split-screen video, the quartet can be seen wearing Hellfire Club shirts, an homage to Eddie being the leader of the fictional group in the series, as the memorable scene plays.
