What was the song Eddie Munson played in ‘Stranger Things’ season four?
Eddie Munson’s Stranger Things tenure on Netflix may have been short-lived. However, it was right about enough to live rent-free in our minds.
Despite initially coming across as a cocky bully, Eddie eventually became the hero Hawkins didn’t know it needed. In fact, in the fourth season finale, he entirely stole the show with a guitar solo to buy more time for his friends, and it automatically spiralled into one of the most memorable and viral moments in the series.
It was during the third phase of their plan to defeat Vecna that Eddie and Dustin shouldered the responsibility of luring a horde of bloodthirsty Demobats. This moment witnessed the most epic metal scenes in TV history, with Eddie shredding on his guitar on the roof of his trailer in the Upside Down.
While removing the pick from around his neck, he dedicated the song to Chrissy, one of Vecna’s victims who died right in front of his eyes, nearly implicating him for her Upside Down murder. Then, he begins strumming the BC Rich Warlock and plays the most iconic songs of all time.
What song did Eddie play?
For those unable to jog their memories, Eddie Munson played Metallica’s ‘Master of Puppets’ in the Upside Down, which was released way back on March 3rd, 1986. The song doesn’t just fit the bill; it makes the Stranger Things moment what it is.
What is Eddie’s band name in Stranger Things?
Corroded Coffin is Eddie’s band name in the hit Netflix series. But turns out, it’s not just Eddie who can shred on guitar. Joseph Quinn was in a school band early on, and he can play the strings quite well. Quinn even reportedly held jamming sessions on the set with some of his co-stars.
“Charlie [Heaton, who portrays Jonathan Byers] is a brilliant drummer, and our friend Carlos, who lives in Atlanta, is a great friend of the cast and a great friend of mine now, [and] we did an ironic punk band rehearsal once in the height of our tedium just to have a bit of a laugh,” the actor once divulged to Tudum. “That was quite funny. I think it was called Soft Metal or something like that.”
‘Master of Puppets’ was not the only song that went viral from Stranger Things season four. Upon the first volume’s debut, Kate Bush’s 1985 hit, ‘Running Up That Hill,’ shot up to the top spot on iTunes while also climbing the Spotify charts. And both are etched in our heads forever.
