Following the inclusion of Metallica‘s “Master of Puppets” in Stranger Things, the legendary rock band was so “blown away” that they uploaded a video of themselves performing the metal classic alongside footage from the hit Netflix show on Friday.
In the 1:00 clip, the rockers plays in unison with Eddie Munson (played by Joseph Quinn, the object of Doja Cat’s affection) as he blasts through the metal classic in an effort to distract demons in the Upside-Down. “Eddie… this is for you!” Metallica captioned the video.
Thanks to its key placement in the finale of Stranger Things’ fourth season, “Master of Puppets” has enjoyed a Kate Bush-esque resurgence with a younger generation.
In a statement about the use of their song, Metallica previously said “The way The Duffer Brothers have incorporated music into Stranger Things has always been next level, so we were beyond psyched for them to not only include ‘Master of Puppets’ in the show, but to have such a pivotal scene built around it.” “We were all stoked to see the final result and when we did we were totally blown away… 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?” “It’s an incredible honor to be such a big part of Eddie’s journey and to once again be keeping company with all of the other amazing artists featured in the show.”
