THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR “Stranger Things” Season 4 finale.

SPOILER WARNING!

In Eddie Munson’s (Joseph Quinn) final moments he chooses to distract the DemoBats by playing Metallica's "Master of Puppets" on his guitar. In addition to mourning the loss of a beloved character “Stranger Things,” fans are also wondering if it was actually Quinn masterfully playing the guitar solo.
In a recent interview, "Stranger Things 4" actor Quinn confirmed that it is indeed him shredding away on the axe. The actor added that he has a background in music and has played the guitar since he was young, which made it a little bit easier for him to step into Eddie's shoes and play along.
The actor’s playing was impressive enough to draw accolades from the band itself. A post published on Metallica's official Instagram reads in part, "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?"
