In the finale of Stranger Things, the resident Metalhead, and D&D nerd, Eddie blasted Master of Puppets in an attempt to divert the Demobats. With the grim backdrop, red lightning, and Dustin cheering him on, it looked like Eddie was unstoppable. Fans can’t stop raving about the two-minute solo. Naturally, it came to the notice of the band. The band in turn churned out a video of their own dueting with Eddie. 

It’s honestly one of the greatest moments of the show and Metallica jumping in, making it even more amazing. Metallica was formed in 1981 and Master of Puppets was their third album. The album was a monumental success and put the band at the forefront of metal thrash. It peaked at 29 on the Billboard charts. The Grammy winner has released 10 studio albums so far.
