Eddie Munson plays a face-melting rendition of Metallica’s song, Master of Puppets, during a critical scene in Stranger Things 4. The infectious energy and visceral power he brings to the screen was actually so impressive, it managed to catch the attention of Metallica themselves.

To prove how much they loved it, yesterday, Metallica paid tribute to Eddie’s iconic guitar solo in the show by adding his face to their live performance, which you can see below thanks to the Twitter account bestofjosephq.
