One of the memorable moments from this season of Stranger Things is when Eddie Munson rocked out to his death strumming out to Metallica’s Master of Puppets.
Well, Joseph Quinn, who played the lovable character, got to meet the band at Lollapalooza. Not only did he meet them, but he also got to play that song with them! The actor did such a bitchin’ job that they gave him a guitar that looked like one from the show and autographed it for him.
I am not a fan of Metallica (Napster, good! Metallica, bad!), but this almost made me like them. But then again, it is the least they can do because the Netflix series helped them climb the charts again by choosing their song.
Joseph Quinn won our hearts over in the first part of Stranger Things season 4 as Eddie Munson. Then he blew our minds when he rocked out to Metallica’s Master of Puppets in a moment that won’t soon be forgotten.
Before he picked up the guitar for that scene, he had to practice. The writers shared two videos of him playing like his life depended on it. And wow! Metallica could learn a thing from him.
That is why we love the actor and hope that someone gives him a new show ASAP.
Metallica was set to tour Australia and New Zealand next month, but they abruptly postponed their tour yesterday so that James Hetfield can go back to rehab for an undisclosed addition. Back in 2002, he went to rehab for alcohol and other addictions.
This is the message the band has for their fans, “We are truly sorry to inform our fans and friends that we must postpone our upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand.
“As most of you probably know, our brother James has been struggling with addiction on and off for many years. He has now, unfortunately, had to re-enter a treatment program to work on his recovery again.
“We fully intend to make our way to your part of the world as soon as health and schedule permit. We’ll let you know as soon as we can. Once again, we are devastated that we have inconvenienced so many of you, especially our most loyal fans who often travel great distances to experience our shows. We appreciate your understanding and support for James and, as always, thank you for being a part of our Metallica family.”
I hate Metallica because I think they are sell outs who are all about money even though they look like they are anti-establishment. Even though I am not a fan of theirs, I do like their song Enter Sandman but I haven’t listened to it in years.
Then yesterday on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon had them sing their biggest hit with The Roots as they all performing the melody with classroom instruments. What we got is a happy version of the angry tune that we won’t be able to stop hearing in our heads all day.
BTW Lars Urlich looks worse than usual or maybe I just don’t know what he looks like anymore.
Some guy seriously didn't shave his beard for two years waiting for Metallica to release their latest album. After waiting two years one of the guys from the band shaved off his 12" beard the day the new album was realeased accoridng to NME.
Dude, it is Metallica they have not been worth it since the whole Napster crap.
