Why Eddie from Stranger Things is the biggest Metal Head

Our hearts are still beating fast after Eddie’s incredible solo at the Stranger Things finale. The two-minute solo of Master of Puppets by Eddie will go down in history as not only the most metal scene ever but surely as one of the greatest too.

It was incredible to know that it was actor Joseph Quinn performing himself. His solo was on point and gave goosebumps to anyone watching. But his amazing performance was not all he had to offer.

Metal Head fans of Stranger Things have since pointed out another scene from the show that convinced them that Eddie was the greatest metal head.

In fact, the album cover that Eddie is holding in the said scene is a reference to the Iron Maiden mascot also.

Another Reddit user explains this “his name on the album is Eddie the head. This is referenced by Eddie having a head.”

Besides his emasculate taste in music, Eddie’s wardrobe, which Joseph also made additions, was a great way of showing his love for Rock n roll.

Even though Eddie is dead, there are theories that he might show up in the series’ fifth and final season in one form or other.
