What song does Eddie play in Upside Down in Stranger Things 4?

*Warning: Spoilers await Stranger Things season 4*

As a series set in the ’80s, Stranger Things has always had a close relationship with music, offering a range of classic pieces to emphasize action.

The music is especially important throughout Season 4 as it proves to be one of the few ways the Hawkins gang can battle the deadly creature known as Vecna.

In many of the trailers for the final season, newcomer Eddie Monson can be seen playing the electric guitar while on the Upside Down but what song is he playing in Stranger Things Season 4?

The gang’s plan to defeat Vicna

Vecna ​​has been the deadliest enemy we’ve seen in Stranger Things as he embarks on a fierce killing spree in Season 4, hoping to open four portals between the Upside Down and our world to wreak ultimate destruction.

The fearsome villain may seem indestructible at first, but the Hawkins gang has been able to identify his weaknesses thanks to their knowledge of Eleven.

Dustin works out that when Vecna ​​travels to our world, his body must be in a trance-like state defenseless in the Upside Down, so the gang devised a plan to attack him when he’s at his weakest.

However, the plan is so dangerous, that while Steve, Robin, and Nancy venture the Upside Down to take out Vecna, Max will have to stay in our world and serve as bait.

To give Steve, Robin, and Nancy as much time as possible to kill Vecna, Eddie and Dustin also venture into the Upside Down to distract the democrats who serve and protect Vecna.

What song does Eddie play in Upside Down in Stranger Things?

The song Eddie plays while on The Upside Down is Metallica’s Master Of Puppets.

To catch the Demobats’ attention, Eddie and Dustin head to the Upside Down version of Eddie’s trailer where he finds an electric guitar that he says is perfect for saving the world.

A fan of all things heavy metal, Eddie plays Master Of Puppets on Metallica, bringing some much-needed rock and roll to the Upside Down.

The plan succeeds as the music attracts the attention of the bats, giving Steve, Robin, and Nancy the time they need to track down and kill Vicna.

Since Vecna ​​has been pulling strings from inside the Upside Down from the start, Master Of Puppets seems a very apt song choice to signal his downfall.

History of Metallica’s puppeteer

Released in March 1986, Master Of Puppets released the same year Stranger Things 4 was set.

The song is the second single on Metallica’s album of the same name, which to this day is considered one of the best albums in the thrash metal genre and features on many top charts albums of the 20th century.

enormous 4,578,000 copies The album was sold between 1991, when the Nielsen SoundScan ratings were introduced, and 2009.

On Spotify, the song Master Of Puppets has been played more than 423 million times, and thanks to its appearance on Stranger Things, that number is only going to rise.

Stranger Things Season 4 is now fully available for Steram after the arrival of Volume 2 Netflix Friday, July 1, 2022.
