“We were beyond psyched for them to not only include “Master of Puppets” in the show, but to have such a pivotal scene built around it,” says Metallica about their StrangerThings needle drop.
The standout scene takes place midway through the final episode as the group plots to kill Vecna. When the group splits up to take down the villain once and for all, Eddie and Dustin are tasked with luring Vecna’s protective bats away from him in order to leave Vecna alone and vulnerable.
Standing on top of a roof in the Upside Down, Eddie expertly shreds the song on his electric guitar. Once the performance ends and the mission proves to be a success, the pair celebrate as Dustin proclaims, “Dude. Most. Metal. EVER.” “We were all stoked to see the final result and when we did we were totally blown away… it’s so extremely well done, so much so, that some folks were able to guess the song just by seeing a few seconds of Joseph Quinn’s hands in the trailer!!” the band’s statement continued. “How crazy cool is that?”
“Master of Puppets,” a song about being taken over from the inside, was the perfect choice to blast through the Upside Down. In an interview with, Quinn said: “I think it might be the only world where a sequence like that kind of can exist and it not feel ridiculous. I mean, obviously it is ridiculous, but it feels earned and it feels fun and it feels like the perfect crescendo to this kind of crazy sequence.
Metallica added: “It’s an incredible honor to be such a big part of Eddie’s journey and to once again be keeping company with all of the other amazing artists featured in the show.”
