METALLICA Reacts To "MASTER OF PUPPETS" Scene In Stranger Things 4!
Stranger Things has been known to borrow everything from the 80s it can. Whether it be shirts or movies, or TV shows, to music. In the Season 4 finale, Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) plays Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in a key scene in order to distract deadly demobats, with the intensity of the sequence matching the intensity of the title track from Metallica's 1986 album.
The band shared a statement on the usage of the song, detailing how it was an "incredible honor" to be used, especially during such a pivotal sequence.
"The way The Duffer Brothers have incorporated music into Stranger Things has always been next level, so 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," the band shared on their Instagram account. "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!! How crazy cool is that? 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."
We hope that this gets folks to revisit the epic album “Master Of Puppets” and reintroduces some good ol’ fashioned metal to the masses. In fact, check out the original band (Yes with Cliff Burton on bass) tearing through the song live below.
