So many people are calling him a fraud, and faking the guitar playing. He admits to using a hand double for the solo, but he did actually play most of the song in the scene. Awesome dedication to the character.
.... Even on the original MoP the solo and rhythm are played by different guitar players (Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield respectfully) Anyone giving that guy shit are trolls
All the while it is standard in movie productions for the actors to be using doubles for instruments, or oftentimes straight up not caring about looking the part, and just having the actors doing the equivalent of a cat screeching on said instruments while some sweet melody is mixed in. Like... dude, at least he actually plays guitar, and knows the song.
I usually hate when fans say “bring this character back”, but I really loved Eddie. He had great chemistry with the other characters. I honestly wouldn’t mind if they brought him back somehow 🤘🏼
there's a DND theory about vecna having a general betray him so there's speculation Eddie may return in such a manner. no guarantees, but still hopeful!
@@longlost3286 But this isn't Vecna, not even remotely. Stranger Things tends to borrow the names of DnD characters for their monsters, but that's where the similarities end. I wouldn't bet on them incorporating actual DnD lore into the show.
@@Navajonkee I mean they kinda have in some aspects, 001 essentially went from being a human (like DND Vecna) to becoming a god. The Mind Flayer in ST also had powerful psychic abilities, like the Mind Flayer in DND. Sure they won't follow the DND lore exactly, but saying they probably wouldn't incorporate actual DND lore is untrue because they already have in many ways
Can’t believe people pointing out that this isn’t ‘perfect’ fuck me, I’d be buzzing if I could play it like that!!!! From a Metallica fan, I loved it Bro 🤘🏻
@@namskramskram6009 damn next time time he’ll make sure to go back in time create years of skill in guitar playing even though he’s an actor and not a musician
I’m not a Metallica fan, but I definitely felt like one, once the first chords sang out in that scene. Literally said “oh SHIT” and just had a huge smile on my face during the whole thing. Eddie was the fucking man, in that moment.
Hey, you gotta give this guy some credit, he can actually play. Most of the time in movies, they'd get body doubles, which they did in some of this, but at the most parts, dude was killing it. Respect! Hail Eddie the Banished!
@@daviplobrum haha you don't know a thing about guitar playing right? A BACKING TRACK IS RUNNING AT THE BACK, and he's playing a long with it... you can clearly hear both things in the video. I know the man is not playing it very well, but as a guitarrist myself too I give him some credit for at least trying and succeeding decently
@@daviplobrum You can literally hear his guitar still making sounds (the sliding F#5 chords that he plays two more times by mistake) underneath the backing track at 0:31 🤡🤡. And at 01:00, you can once again hear his guitar clearly, as he plays the E5 chord too soon.
@@daviplobrum His timing is definitely off at parts but he definitely knows what notes he needs to hit, even if he isn't getting the timing right. I give him kudos for that alone.
@@PushinDinglee By performance I mean his acting performance. He clearly knows how to play the bulk of the song. That’s more effort than a lot of people put in when playing guitar in movies. Guy gets my respect.
It makes me sad that there are people that are hating on him for “faking” the solo of Master of Puppets, little do they know that solo is known for being really hard, one of the hardest, even.
When it comes to music specifically instruments I have the opinion of if I can't play it I just shut the hell up its wild that like you said people are out here clowning him when they probably cant even tune a guitar let alone fucking play one.
Been a metal head my whole life. Finally we have some metal representation lol 🤘🏻 *edit - some people didn’t get the sarcasm with the “lol” at the end of my sentence. Was a play on how so many people want representation of XYZ
What about when Avenged Sevenfold beat Chris Brown, Rihanna, James Blunt, Panic at the Disco, and Angels and Airwaves under the category Best New Artist in a video on the MTV Music Awards 2006???
Yes sir, EDDIE you seriously stole the show on stranger things in just one season you did what took all the actors 4 seasons to do you instantly became a fan favorite out doing everyone else great job and fantastic performance, the fact is you were given a character that many people can relate to outsider did you own thing hung with anyone no matter who they were, you took that character and did a phenomenal job, I seriously hope the duffer bros will bring you back!!!
I love how Joseph Quinn’s mannerisms here are identical (duh) to when he plays this song for real as Eddie in the Stranger Things. Really adds to the authenticity of the scene and his portrayal of the character.
When Eddie and Dustin got excited to "MOST METAL EVER!" I smiled ear to ear. I'm not even a metal fan but I do like a damn good "you played the shit out of that" moment
Oh Lord, that was just an breathtaking moment in the history from stranger things.... I had goose bumps all over me.... Well done Quinn, hope to see more from you
As Eddie said, It was the most metal concert in the history of the world. And so much respect to Joe who learnt how to play the song instead of just faking it
For those unaware, yes Joseph Quinn knows how to play the song but wasn’t the best at it. He did play and film the scene himself in the show which was really awesome (it wasn’t a live performance obviously and the actual track was recorded), but they also had a very talented kid to double for him named Aidan Fisher for the solo part, so basically the fingers we saw during the close up shots was his double. BUT, the actual audio for the solo was not Joseph nor his double but was the son of Metallica’s bassist Robert Trujillo, Tye Trujillo.
He's an actor. It would be crazy to think that he would learn or play the song perfectly, simply for Stranger Things. He is definitely dedicated to learning as much as possible to make it look absolutely phenomenal. I give massive credit to Joseph Quinn for making it look amazing and perfect. And stranger things turned Eddie into an Album Cover, with his amazing battle of the demons, behind a red/purplish sky. It was hands down the greatest 'metal' scene I've ever seen.
Why is no one talking about how Master of Puppets is played as "vecnas them song" which it is revealed around this time in the show that Vecna IS the Master of Puppets!
I definitely caught on to the genius song choice. But things going over people's heads never surprise me. Even with the Duffers confirming through very direct words on the aftershow that Vecna is indeed the one behind every Upside Down threat in every season of the show, there are those that either somehow don't connect the dots and still think they're two separate entities because Dustin said Vecna is the Flayer's '5 Star General' or there are those that straight up deny it and even call the reveal lame. It's even been incorrectly labeled as a retcon, which is just wrong because we've never gotten any explanation about the Flayer before outside of HIS (remember, Will always referred to a sentient particle cloud as HE) motivations. It's a revelation that makes sense and actually makes Vecna a monster even more because he enslaved all life in the Upside Down. They said there's more to be revealed, which I'm sure will have a surprise or two. But I don't see anything changing the fact that since day 1, Vecna has been the mastermind all along and he's just been playing chess, making move after move after move through every season, always having another plan already in motion if one fails. Season 5 should be a slam dunk. If they somehow botch and fumble the final season, I'd be thoroughly shocked. I'd hate to see this show suffer the same fate as GoT and become nothing more than a distant memory with a sour taste instead of being a show/story that's talked about with reverence.
He put in the work! Mad respect. I noticed he was actually playing the parts during the episode too, adds so much to a character who supposedly lives and breathes music! For those of us who see ourselves in Eddie, it really makes us feel seen, and like the character of Eddie was a hat tip to artistic souls, rather than an empty caricature
@MJD Music The way I understood it is he can play it decently well enough (and clearly he can) to make it look like he's playing but what we hear in the show is definitely not him actually playing. In other words, the show uses the real Metallica version but we do see him playing the guitar correctly and believably
PSA: The actual bands who wrote these songs do not play them “perfectly” during practice either. Hence the term “practice.” A lot of the time they don’t even play them perfectly on stage. Sometimes they don’t even play it perfectly on the damn studio version.
Maybe now, but back in the 80's/90's Metallica made few mistakes onstage. They might be the most experienced touring band out there. The ultimate road dogs of rock history.
True, even Cliff has a mistake on the studio version of this song :) But of course, TH-cam-commenters never make any mistakes etc, they are all Yngwie-level.
Dear Joseph Quinn, I'm a huge fan of Stranger Things. In fact I grew up in the 1980's, and I was the same age as the main characters. I'm also a huge fan of Metallica and have had the opportunity to hear Master of Puppets live 3times. But your performance was the icing on the cake. 🤘😎
Same! Everything I grew up on I’m basically reliving through the series. You could rewatch and rewatch and still recognize something that was the entire 80’s pop culture vibe. I think Eddie was based on Eddie Van Halen because when he stood up in the cafeteria scene, they played a guitar riff from Van Halen and David Lee Roth singing. Lol
@@ImSick0 I mean kind of He didn't have to learn guitar from scratch, he already had basic knowledge so it really does help He had to learn to play this specific song, but not how to play a whole new instrument
I mean they could’ve gotten a studio musician double to do the guitar parts but they didn’t,90 percent of music scenes in movies and shows are played by doubles so that’s what makes this so cool since not only did he nail the acting but he had the guitar playing chops to back it up,he was the perfect fit for this role
@@scz1770 well yes, he dubbed the guitar parts that you hear over the studio track, but Quinn is still physically playing the riffs correctly. Still way more impressive than what most shows do imo.
@@drummerdan95 nobody is saying anything different, we're just pointing out Tye Trujillo deserves credit where credit is due. Nobody is taking anything away from Quinn
Holy... even hitting the downpicking!!, there's some mistakes guess he would be learning it but... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN approved 100%. Here's a Jewel✨ Many "specialist guitar critics" out there... Would like to see what it was like when they first tried it. This guy didn't even need to do it, but there it is...
bruh, he is not even playing it, just trying to copy actual movement. He IS NOT hitting anything, he is just trying to make it realistic. I dont blame him tho, thats great anyways. But dude... he is not even trying to play it... like uhhhh...
@@scooter4252 He was playing it, but with the camera/mic placement, you're mostly hearing the track and not his amp once the rest of the band comes in. 0:30 is proof.
I think Joseph did an excellent job playing Eddy. I felt connected with Eddy. I was pretty disappointed when they took him out of the show. Thank you Joseph for sharing your acting and musical talents with us. Any show you play in from now on, I’ll be watching it.
Yo that scene saved it for me. Absolute perfection! I hate when a series kills off a person and then finds a way to twist them back in. But with Eddie…I’d over look it.
Awesome. Anyone trying to take away from this and nitpicking about mistakes etc seriously just needs to chill. The man isn't a pro guitarist and never claimed to be, he's an actor who happened to play some guitar as a kid and bought a guitar specifically to learn MOP before shooting to have a go at it. That's not an easy thing to do especially when he's also got to focus on building his character and acting at the same time as playing. This dude is awesome for even attempting it and he did a solid job when most actors would have asked for a double to play the whole thing. His acting was brilliant and he showed real dedication to the part. Hope we see him in many more roles soon!
Joseph is both amazed and grateful that you took time to publicly defend him. He just couldn't believe it that anyone could do that for him. Thanks again buddy. Joseph can finally feel accomplished in life.
The thing I'm most impressed about is how he's doing all downstrokes just like Hetfield. Even for a skilled metal guitarist, that's really super impressive. Edit: what I’m referring to as difficult is how Quinn is managing to do the machine-gun speed downstrokes. Yes, downstrokes are very simple and easy (even easier than alternate cause I spent weeks learning alternate), but at that speed it’s an absolute workout that makes your hand feel like you dipped it in a blender.
@Anime Man Pretty obvious that K Ma was kidding. The laughing emoji was the first sign. No Metallica songs (or metal songs in general) are played with all up strokes. This joke has been made on pretty much every Master of Puppets video on TH-cam since the beginning of time.
As someone in their early 40's, my jaw completely dropped during this scene in the show! When I sang along to all the lyrics, my 11 y.o. son looked at me like 😳 how in the hell do you know the words!? 🤣
@@Jennyfisch its much more Physically straining. Constant downward movement means no natural up and down movement of the wrist Its basically a constant double bass drum or constantly hitting your hand on something
Why would it be such a big deal to alternate pick it I mean Cole Rolland alternate picked it and it came out just as good as down picking, Why make something more difficult just because the writer of the song played at that way. We all play differently and Some people are just so used to alternate picking Why would they need to learn to change their whole way of playing when playing the song alternate picking can sound almost the same with way less effort? I thought that was one of the points of getting good at guitar.
@@guitarsandcars2586 obviously there's no wrong way to play it, but the reason for all downpicking is because the attack of each string hit is more uniform, plus it keeps the timing more rigid. this might seem silly, but metallica recorded the song tuned down a whole step and at a slower tempo to make sure the timing was super precise, then sped the tape back up so it'd be at standard pitch during mixing. so who's to say how far is too far to go for achieving a certain sound
He knew how to play before the show, He learnt MoP for the scene. But Mad Respect for him for doing it, they could have just got a double in to do that scene but he learnt it and even stayed true by sticking to down picking it just like the mighty Het.
His face when he was in Dustin’s hands that one scene had me wanting to jump through the screen and hug him. He did such a phenomenal job! I hope to see lots more of him!
He did something pretty special. One of the most iconic and distinct metal songs ever; I love that he made the effort to be in time, matching positions, and downpicked the song, while needing to be Eddie! I can't believe there are gatekeepers about this, he crushed it and now a whole new group of people are introduced to metal. Such a win. And how sick was it they chose to have him play a Warlock?? Thank you Joseph, a metalhead thanks you.
I'm literally a Metallica fan from the early days until now. I've seen every lineup of the band live whether it was a small club in the beginning and huge stadium tours. Also been a Stranger Things fan from episode 1. Eddie's character was me in high school. We were misunderstood and hated by teachers and classmates just because we grew our hair and listened to metal music. So when this season began I fell in love with this character because it was like looking in the mirror. Thank you Duffer Bros for representing me in your show with a character like Eddie.
Major props for him practicing to do this for real dude. Playing a metallica song isnt something you can just try for fun, thats master level shit! Even with the mistakes it's still an insane feat. He said he had experience playing before but hadn't touched a guitar in years, but went out to buy one as soon as he got the part. Amazing work and dedication Joseph
i cover metallica all the time like just to listen to it but with me playing also, yea the songs arent easy but they are far from not being able to play them just for fun, i learned master of puppets after like 5 years of guitar playing. my favorite song to cover is probably creeping death because its a great downpick exercise. and hey im not knocking the dude but from a non guitar players perspective it looks way harder than it actually is, and once you know the song and your muscle memory takes over it becomes that much easier to play.
Hands down one of the greatest TV characters of all time, and Joseph Quinn played him to perfection. Mark my words, this gentleman's career is going to skyrocket now.
definitely a fun character... but one of the greatest of all time? Who else is on this list of yours? I'm curious to see who is good enough to be in the graces of Eddie from Stranger Things Season 4 lol
You can tell how extremely important his character was to him and how insanely dedicated someone must be to learn a whole new skill just for one scene, like this is something not everyone gets to experience in their lives and lots of people would die to be able to play a role as memorable as Eddie. I don't think Joseph realises how extremely lucky he is to have the opportunity to be cast and to have a role in a show as successful as Stranger Things, As we know, Joseph/Eddie was only just introduced into ST in season 4 and may or may not come back for season 5. ~~~~~~||||SPOILERS/THEORY WARNING - PROCEED WITH CAUTION||||~~~~~~ Many of us know, Eddie was 'killed' in episode 9 by Vecnas bats, I read somewhere that The Duffer Brother said 'Vecnas bats cant kill'. At this stage I'm unsure how true that is, Dustin also did not check for a pulse so Eddie could possibly still be alive. Kas is a vampire and Vecna's top lieutenant. He wielded the Sword of Kas, a sentient black longsword that convinced Kas to betray Vecna in an attempt to usurp his power. Their explosive battle led to Vecna losing his eye and hand. If you look at a full body image of Vecna, you can see his left hand is the hand he uses to kill/possess his victims, maybe while Eleven and Vecna are having a big battle, Vecna almost kills El and Eddie rises up from the ground with full armour, shield and The Sword of Kas to betray Vecna just like Kas did. While El is seconds from death, the fight between Eddie and Vecna comes to a close end with Eddie cutting off Vecnas left hand so he is unable to kill any more people, Vecna becomes enraged by Eddie's act of heroism and tries to kill him once more failing to do so...why? Eleven, close to death, kills Vecna, not only lifting his curse but unfortunately sacrificing herself to do so. Will confesses to Mike (you know the rest) Eddie (now alive) escaped The Upside Down looking back at El and Vecna burning up in a firey pit :)
From one Joseph Quinn to another, cheers to you for your success! I also play guitar, although my taste in axes is a bit more traditional, I play a 2009 Les Paul, a 335 and I'm in the process of building a "partscaster" Fender telecaster. Great to see someone bringing honor to our shared name, and not in the news for some type of terrible act! Cheers, mate from Connecticut USA! 🤘👍🍻
@@matte2160 I wouldn’t agree with that personally and I find what his kid did to be way more impressive as he isn’t a guitar player but a bass player so hearing him play that hit way different, and I just assumed the actor would play it eventually and if you watch his hands he messed up like 3-4 times but that’s to be expected it a hard song I mess up playing it too :)
@@tsarumagar Yeah master of downpicking and singing. And I also can't brlieve how mustaine can play podion was the cure while singing. The big 4 are gods.
@@222MovieMan Poison was the Cure is not that hard, except for the solo. In fact, I do not really play guitar, but I can play Marty's part, which is harder than Mustaine's, and sing Mustaine's lines at the same time. I think most people could do it. Of course, I can't pick at original speed, haha! Only about 70%.
Man actually learned Fast precise downpicking just for a show What a absolute madlad learning one of the more harder techniques on the guitar and also learning one of the hardest songs the play in the guitar
Ok, a bit of objectivity here. For the people criticizing him, this is likely when he was learning to play the song. You can tell he's struggling with it. His guitar is definitely out of tune, and he hasn't learned it fully here yet. But he is playing it and not miming. You can hear his guitar the whole time, mistakes and all. I'm sure he got it much more polished after this. The fact that he's doing the downpicking properly shows how committed he is. For the people worshipping him over this, it's not as great as you're acting like it is in this video. He's clearly just learning the song and getting comfortable with it. He's not "killing it" here, nor does he have to for it to be awesome. This run through is full of mistakes, but like I said, he's learning it here and I fully believe he had it down much better after this. Either way, it's super cool that he learned it and played it properly in the scene. I immediately noticed that he was playing it right in the show and that made a huge difference to me as a musician. I really admire him for that, no matter how great of a guitar player he is. Most people would chicken out. He fully committed to it and the result is one of the most iconic scenes in TV history.
I think a lot of people don't realize how unusual it is for someone to be an actor of that caliber AND be able to play guitar at this level. Metallica isn't the easiest stuff to play. It's not like he's copping a John Denver song. Says a lot about the guy's talent and dedication. Most actors aren't ace musicians too.
The comment section filled with "omg hes a god at guitar" makes me lose a bit of sanity, same thing goes for the people calling it fake. It's like they don't realise the song is playing in the background and you can hear his guitar. The commenters proclaiming that master of puppets is a super hard song to play stink of inexperience of playing guitar. Nothing against the guy himself, he's a great actor and at least a decent guitar player.
Thank you Mr. Quinn for representing us nerdy metalheads well! You gotta give him props for his dedication to the role. He knows the notes he needs to hit. He made it look great on the show. Props to learning what he did! Much respect. It would be pretty cool if he came on stage with Metallica for one show dressed up as Eddie. Metallica seems to embrace the character as well, which is just freakin' cool! Yeah, he's obviously playing to a track and he missed notes, but he is an actor that is playing MoP... so only respect! Eddie Munson is my favorite character from Stranger Things man.
I’ve seen plenty of bands who didn’t/couldn’t play their studio tracks the same live. Not saying that’s James or Kirk, just that often we compare guitar players to note-for-note renditions of recordings even the dudes who wrote it don’t play anymore. If you saw this cat on a bar stage playing with a band, would you really notice the missing notes? If I had a nickel for every pro I’ve seen flub, skip, or improvise live, I’d be rich.
@@codacreator6162 So true! I don't mind when a musician misses some notes, since they're actually performing live and not to a pre-recording! I still think of that Nirvana performance when they were told they had to play to a pre-recording and just made it look so obviously fake. It's hilarious. Like I said, I respect this guy even more seeing how much he put into this!
@@clonedavenger There's an Angra TV recording when they had to sync with The studio tracks. So the band members changed their instruments and the drummer wasn't even there. Hilarious footage.
Eddie is the best character from any show I've ever seen in my life. No one will ever come close to having that level of an impact on millions in just one season.
honestly i feel like the fact that it’s not a perfect rendition of MOP plays in perfectly with the scene in stranger things. mainly because eddie and dustin’s plan was to cause a distraction for nancy, robin and steve. not to mention that the bats were fucking scary also i doubt eddie would be playing perfectly if he was under a lot of pressure. i’m glad that we got this scene and i’m in love with joseph quinn for this
Well the song was 2weeks old in the time frame of the show. Eddie was hiding for most of those 2 weeks, theres no internet , so in the ahow he learnes it by listening to it "wherever he did" a few times and played it. The character eddie munson is a guitar god
This guy needs to walk out on stage at the next Metallica concert carrying a guitar. Who cares if he gets it right. He vindicated lot of 80's metal heads. Those guys were some of my best friends back in high school.
that's not him playing ... you can barely hear anything from him in a couple spots as he cannot even keep up with the 'shitty' version they recorded to pretend was his. y'all smoking that cult worship
I can appreciate that Joseph Quinn actually did a good portion of the song rather than miming it. Not perfect but its really nice and it shows his dedication to his acting.
I get the feeling that the writers did not know what a huge impact his character was gonna have. I really really wish he didn't have to die. But at the same time, he went out a true hero and that ending line was absolutely brilliant. He will be missed by many!!
Man if Hopper can be back... Eddie can also be brought back somehow. And I don't think that's the last of him anyways, even when I watched the end I felt like there was more to his story and they are just saving it for next season.
I will never forget Munson The Banished for as long as I live 🤘🏼🖤 Thank you Joseph Quinn, for not only dedicating quite a lot of time to practicing this song on guitar for one of the coolest and most metal scenes to have ever metal'd, but for showing us the sweeter, sensitive, more innocent side that a majority of these people (at least in my experience) have. Some of the most empathetic people I've ever met were Metalheads that genuinely care about other people's well-being and safety. Society likes to outcast anything and anyone they deem unorthodox, even based off of appearances alone. If you're different and you stray from what's expected of you, especially your appearance, you're considered bad and shunned for it... Society always does that, dehumanizing and discarding people that "don't fit the perfect mold". Thank you, for helping in continuing to push the agenda further that everyone should just be themselves, never change to fit that mold, do what's right, and make sure you're having a good time doing it, because society will find a reason to hate you anyway, so just be who you are and the right people will come 💖
Keep in mind, season 4 of Stranger Things takes place during Spring Break in 1986, which means early to mid March. Master of Puppets came out on March 3rd, 1986, so this means Eddie likely only had maybe 2 or 3 weeks to learn the song as well as he did, so that goes to show you just how talented he really was!
Unless he was a tape trader and received the bootleg of the 1985 New Year's Eve show in San Francisco, which would have been available on vinyl or cassette! This was the debut of Master of Puppets live.
@@Almeida5 man... how cool would that be to go back to the show and in the middle of a scene there's a tape in eddie's room that says "1985 san fran new years" or something? i think little details like that are awesome.
Mad respect. First thing I looked at was if he was legit playing along with it, having played this song so many times in my life. I was blown away. Made me love this show even more knowing they put that much effort into it.
I’ve been a diehard Metallica fan since I was 12 years old when death magnetic came out. Seeing the love and admiration they’re getting now genuinely brings tears to my eyes.
*Its not that he didn’t play it well..he played it ok but the main issue is that he was hitting the WRONG notes in a lot of places…he should sit down and learn the actual notes like everyone else that “masters” master of puppets. I put many hours in on my guitar to learn how to play this song and many others so why can’t he?*
He is playing along to the track and that is mainly what you can hear. Everyone who plays MOP knows that this isn't very good. HOWEVER...All the kudos in the world to him for actually practicing this and not faking it. Most wouldnt bother putting the time in.
His ending on the show was a really unique experience for me, because usually when I fall in love with a character like that, when they die I feel a true sense of tragedy and am usually such a cry baby. This time felt different. I wasn’t even sad when he died because I just couldn’t accept it, just an immense feeling of disappointment that we weren’t getting him back to see where his story could go. They should figure out a way to bring him back.
Perfect play or not i don't care, he can do it and did it epically. He represented the whole metal community in that scene not just Metallica's and for that i thank you Joseph!
People don’t realize how hard the riff is palm muting E open twice then E1 prior to each note on A 2, 3, 4, 3, 2. In a second you’re down stroking 4 notes and it has to sound that fluent. My hand cramps thinking about playing this song haha, I wish it showed the classical solo as well, but super pumped! He did a great job
This is a shortened version of the song, for the show I’m guessing? Pretty good skills bro! Spot on 👏 you were starting to play on the same style as James Hetfield, too, nice job with the down picking. 👍
I will say, even though he's only mimicking the song, this is still more devotion to an instrumental scene than 95% of actors out there. I've heard of studios bringing in an musician advisor to make these scenes more realistic, only for them to be ruined by the people doing the editing cutting and pasting different moments of the song than what's actually being heard...
This is great. I'm sure there are plenty who are pointing out the mistakes because keyboard warriors are a cancer that infects everything, but this is someone who clearly plays the instrument and has played the song before, but it's not a song he regularly plays, or else it's just been a long time since he did. He obviously knows the fingerings, he's playing with nothing but down strokes, etc. It's an 8 minute song. Metallica's music isn't the most technically difficult stuff out there, especially in metal, but it's not the easiest stuff ever, especially their earlier stuff. tl;dr: This kicks ass and I'm glad the actor actually played along instead of faking it like a lot of others would have had to do.
Pointing out mistakes doesn't make someone a keyboard warrior lmao. That's about the equivalent as saying "if someone doesn't agree with you, they are a racist"
After my step dad introduced me to this band back in 2015, you should've seen my reaction when I heard this song 7 years later in a show I absolutely love
Joseph Quinn looks like that one therapist who you find just learning and being a master in martial arts and calling it “a hobby”. A calm pleasant face with hands just dropping fire beats
Major props for him practicing to do this for real dude. Playing a metallica song isnt something you can just try for fun, thats master level shit! Even with the mistakes it's still an insane feat. He said he had experience playing before but hadn't touched a guitar in years, but went out to buy one as soon as he got the part. Amazing work and dedication Joseph
I don't wanna be that guy, but he's playing this wrong. Like the actual sound coming from his guitar is 90% wrong notes Y'all are listening to the Metallica backing track as if that's what he playing Again I don't wanna be that guy but he hits like 1 in every 10 notes

🤘
So many people are calling him a fraud, and faking the guitar playing. He admits to using a hand double for the solo, but he did actually play most of the song in the scene. Awesome dedication to the character.
.... Even on the original MoP the solo and rhythm are played by different guitar players (Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield respectfully) Anyone giving that guy shit are trolls
All the while it is standard in movie productions for the actors to be using doubles for instruments, or oftentimes straight up not caring about looking the part, and just having the actors doing the equivalent of a cat screeching on said instruments while some sweet melody is mixed in. Like... dude, at least he actually plays guitar, and knows the song.
Lmfao he 100% didn't play any of it and is completely off even here 🤦♂️🤡🤣
If anyone's calling him a fraud they're absolute morons. He's an 'actor'. Did Superman really fly lol?
People act like actors write their own characters and lines
I usually hate when fans say “bring this character back”, but I really loved Eddie. He had great chemistry with the other characters. I honestly wouldn’t mind if they brought him back somehow 🤘🏼
there's a DND theory about vecna having a general betray him so there's speculation Eddie may return in such a manner. no guarantees, but still hopeful!
Eddie is very similar in death to a character in dnd who came back and killed vecna
@@longlost3286 But this isn't Vecna, not even remotely. Stranger Things tends to borrow the names of DnD characters for their monsters, but that's where the similarities end. I wouldn't bet on them incorporating actual DnD lore into the show.
@@Navajonkee I mean they kinda have in some aspects, 001 essentially went from being a human (like DND Vecna) to becoming a god. The Mind Flayer in ST also had powerful psychic abilities, like the Mind Flayer in DND. Sure they won't follow the DND lore exactly, but saying they probably wouldn't incorporate actual DND lore is untrue because they already have in many ways
I 100% believe everyone will go back. Just based off how many times they said "we even held a funeral for you"

For those unaware, yes Joseph Quinn knows how to play the song but wasn’t the best at it. He did play and film the scene himself in the show which was really awesome (it wasn’t a live performance obviously and the actual track was recorded), but they also had a very talented kid to double for him named Aidan Fisher for the solo part, so basically the fingers we saw during the close up shots was his double. BUT, the actual audio for the solo was not Joseph nor his double but was the son of Metallica’s bassist Robert Trujillo, Tye Trujillo.
Tye Trujillo, Robert's son, played the solo (the end credits mention him)
Yeah, and he had prebious experience playing guitar.
Sick thx for the info !
@@noahreimer6524 🤘
A collaborative effort 💯
He's an actor. It would be crazy to think that he would learn or play the song perfectly, simply for Stranger Things. He is definitely dedicated to learning as much as possible to make it look absolutely phenomenal. I give massive credit to Joseph Quinn for making it look amazing and perfect. And stranger things turned Eddie into an Album Cover, with his amazing battle of the demons, behind a red/purplish sky. It was hands down the greatest 'metal' scene I've ever seen.
Didn't he have Aiden Fisher play it on screen for him cause he couldn't mime it right? Pretty sure they used a double on that scene

Why is no one talking about how Master of Puppets is played as "vecnas them song" which it is revealed around this time in the show that Vecna IS the Master of Puppets!
I definitely caught on to the genius song choice. But things going over people's heads never surprise me. Even with the Duffers confirming through very direct words on the aftershow that Vecna is indeed the one behind every Upside Down threat in every season of the show, there are those that either somehow don't connect the dots and still think they're two separate entities because Dustin said Vecna is the Flayer's '5 Star General' or there are those that straight up deny it and even call the reveal lame. It's even been incorrectly labeled as a retcon, which is just wrong because we've never gotten any explanation about the Flayer before outside of HIS (remember, Will always referred to a sentient particle cloud as HE) motivations.
It's a revelation that makes sense and actually makes Vecna a monster even more because he enslaved all life in the Upside Down. They said there's more to be revealed, which I'm sure will have a surprise or two. But I don't see anything changing the fact that since day 1, Vecna has been the mastermind all along and he's just been playing chess, making move after move after move through every season, always having another plan already in motion if one fails.
Season 5 should be a slam dunk. If they somehow botch and fumble the final season, I'd be thoroughly shocked. I'd hate to see this show suffer the same fate as GoT and become nothing more than a distant memory with a sour taste instead of being a show/story that's talked about with reverence.
Eddie even has a master of puppets tattoo

@@DraconianMithril Would have been a good choice too :-) Would have been easier for Eddie to play too. \m/
He put in the work! Mad respect. I noticed he was actually playing the parts during the episode too, adds so much to a character who supposedly lives and breathes music! For those of us who see ourselves in Eddie, it really makes us feel seen, and like the character of Eddie was a hat tip to artistic souls, rather than an empty caricature
Hes just miming it no?
@MJD Music thats why no close ups of the solo :P
@MJD Music ok
@MJD Music The way I understood it is he can play it decently well enough (and clearly he can) to make it look like he's playing but what we hear in the show is definitely not him actually playing. In other words, the show uses the real Metallica version but we do see him playing the guitar correctly and believably
Look, I'm sorry to say this but it really didn't look like he was actually playing during the episode lmao
PSA: The actual bands who wrote these songs do not play them “perfectly” during practice either. Hence the term “practice.”
A lot of the time they don’t even play them perfectly on stage.
Sometimes they don’t even play it perfectly on the damn studio version.
Maybe now, but back in the 80's/90's Metallica made few mistakes onstage. They might be the most experienced touring band out there. The ultimate road dogs of rock history.
True, even Cliff has a mistake on the studio version of this song :)
But of course, TH-cam-commenters never make any mistakes etc, they are all Yngwie-level.

Dear Joseph Quinn,
I'm a huge fan of Stranger Things. In fact I grew up in the 1980's, and I was the same age as the main characters. I'm also a huge fan of Metallica and have had the opportunity to hear Master of Puppets live 3times. But your performance was the icing on the cake. 🤘😎
I love this :)
Same! Everything I grew up on I’m basically reliving through the series. You could rewatch and rewatch and still recognize something that was the entire 80’s pop culture vibe.
I think Eddie was based on Eddie Van Halen because when he stood up in the cafeteria scene, they played a guitar riff from Van Halen and David Lee Roth singing. Lol
bro this isn’t joe’s channel
@Erik Rousu I kinda figured since his hair is exactly the same and he actually resembles him a bit. Plus, the whole red guitar playing thing. Lol
The hardest part of this song is the down picking. You need good muscle stuff and stamina especially if you never played guitar before.
He has actually played guitar before, he played when he was younger so he had some muscle memory built up
@@scz1770 That's not how it works.
@@ImSick0 lmao it is, you don't maintain every skill but you pick an instrument up easier as an adult if you played it as a kid

Awesome. Anyone trying to take away from this and nitpicking about mistakes etc seriously just needs to chill. The man isn't a pro guitarist and never claimed to be, he's an actor who happened to play some guitar as a kid and bought a guitar specifically to learn MOP before shooting to have a go at it. That's not an easy thing to do especially when he's also got to focus on building his character and acting at the same time as playing. This dude is awesome for even attempting it and he did a solid job when most actors would have asked for a double to play the whole thing. His acting was brilliant and he showed real dedication to the part. Hope we see him in many more roles soon!
Great comment, I couldn't agree more
love him for learning how to actually play it
Joseph is both amazed and grateful that you took time to publicly defend him. He just couldn't believe it that anyone could do that for him. Thanks again buddy. Joseph can finally feel accomplished in life.

The thing I'm most impressed about is how he's doing all downstrokes just like Hetfield. Even for a skilled metal guitarist, that's really super impressive.
Edit: what I’m referring to as difficult is how Quinn is managing to do the machine-gun speed downstrokes. Yes, downstrokes are very simple and easy (even easier than alternate cause I spent weeks learning alternate), but at that speed it’s an absolute workout that makes your hand feel like you dipped it in a blender.
I was thinking the same thing
The song is supposed to be all upstrokes, though. 😂
@@kma6881 nice try, but no
literally came here to comment that hahahahah

My man didn’t cheat out on the down picking. What a legend!
Question from someone who barely touched a guitar: I can probably guess what downpicking means, but what makes it so difficult?
@@Jennyfisch its much more Physically straining. Constant downward movement means no natural up and down movement of the wrist
Its basically a constant double bass drum or constantly hitting your hand on something
@@Celatra I see, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining!
Why would it be such a big deal to alternate pick it I mean Cole Rolland alternate picked it and it came out just as good as down picking, Why make something more difficult just because the writer of the song played at that way. We all play differently and Some people are just so used to alternate picking Why would they need to learn to change their whole way of playing when playing the song alternate picking can sound almost the same with way less effort? I thought that was one of the points of getting good at guitar.
@@guitarsandcars2586 obviously there's no wrong way to play it, but the reason for all downpicking is because the attack of each string hit is more uniform, plus it keeps the timing more rigid. this might seem silly, but metallica recorded the song tuned down a whole step and at a slower tempo to make sure the timing was super precise, then sped the tape back up so it'd be at standard pitch during mixing. so who's to say how far is too far to go for achieving a certain sound
Holy shit i had no idea he actually knew how to play it, mad respect and much love 🙌🏻
Just not the solos lol
He knew how to play before the show, He learnt MoP for the scene. But Mad Respect for him for doing it, they could have just got a double in to do that scene but he learnt it and even stayed true by sticking to down picking it just like the mighty Het.
Same I thought it was fake
Ik and some people actually figure out the song from the trailer by looking at his finger placements.
I’ve been playing this song for 20 years. Where’s my fan base?
His face when he was in Dustin’s hands that one scene had me wanting to jump through the screen and hug him. He did such a phenomenal job! I hope to see lots more of him!
Um..
He did something pretty special. One of the most iconic and distinct metal songs ever; I love that he made the effort to be in time, matching positions, and downpicked the song, while needing to be Eddie! I can't believe there are gatekeepers about this, he crushed it and now a whole new group of people are introduced to metal. Such a win.
And how sick was it they chose to have him play a Warlock??
Thank you Joseph, a metalhead thanks you.
I'm literally a Metallica fan from the early days until now. I've seen every lineup of the band live whether it was a small club in the beginning and huge stadium tours. Also been a Stranger Things fan from episode 1. Eddie's character was me in high school. We were misunderstood and hated by teachers and classmates just because we grew our hair and listened to metal music. So when this season began I fell in love with this character because it was like looking in the mirror. Thank you Duffer Bros for representing me in your show with a character like Eddie.

Great movie. The main character looks so much like his famous dad too
You can tell how extremely important his character was to him and how insanely dedicated someone must be to learn a whole new skill just for one scene, like this is something not everyone gets to experience in their lives and lots of people would die to be able to play a role as memorable as Eddie.
I don't think Joseph realises how extremely lucky he is to have the opportunity to be cast and to have a role in a show as successful as Stranger Things, As we know, Joseph/Eddie was only just introduced into ST in season 4 and may or may not come back for season 5.
~~~~~~||||SPOILERS/THEORY WARNING - PROCEED WITH CAUTION||||~~~~~~
Many of us know, Eddie was 'killed' in episode 9 by Vecnas bats, I read somewhere that The Duffer Brother said 'Vecnas bats cant kill'. At this stage I'm unsure how true that is, Dustin also did not check for a pulse so Eddie could possibly still be alive.
Kas is a vampire and Vecna's top lieutenant. He wielded the Sword of Kas, a sentient black longsword that convinced Kas to betray Vecna in an attempt to usurp his power. Their explosive battle led to Vecna losing his eye and hand.
If you look at a full body image of Vecna, you can see his left hand is the hand he uses to kill/possess his victims, maybe while Eleven and Vecna are having a big battle, Vecna almost kills El and Eddie rises up from the ground with full armour, shield and The Sword of Kas to betray Vecna just like Kas did.
While El is seconds from death, the fight between Eddie and Vecna comes to a close end with Eddie cutting off Vecnas left hand so he is unable to kill any more people, Vecna becomes enraged by Eddie's act of heroism and tries to kill him once more failing to do so...why? Eleven, close to death, kills Vecna, not only lifting his curse but unfortunately sacrificing herself to do so.
Will confesses to Mike (you know the rest)
Eddie (now alive) escaped The Upside Down looking back at El and Vecna burning up in a firey pit :)

@@tsarumagar Yeah master of downpicking and singing. And I also can't brlieve how mustaine can play podion was the cure while singing. The big 4 are gods.
@@222MovieMan Poison was the Cure is not that hard, except for the solo. In fact, I do not really play guitar, but I can play Marty's part, which is harder than Mustaine's, and sing Mustaine's lines at the same time. I think most people could do it. Of course, I can't pick at original speed, haha! Only about 70%.
Man actually learned Fast precise downpicking just for a show
What a absolute madlad learning one of the more harder techniques on the guitar and also learning one of the hardest songs the play in the guitar
Ok, a bit of objectivity here.
For the people criticizing him, this is likely when he was learning to play the song. You can tell he's struggling with it. His guitar is definitely out of tune, and he hasn't learned it fully here yet. But he is playing it and not miming. You can hear his guitar the whole time, mistakes and all. I'm sure he got it much more polished after this. The fact that he's doing the downpicking properly shows how committed he is.
For the people worshipping him over this, it's not as great as you're acting like it is in this video. He's clearly just learning the song and getting comfortable with it. He's not "killing it" here, nor does he have to for it to be awesome. This run through is full of mistakes, but like I said, he's learning it here and I fully believe he had it down much better after this.
Either way, it's super cool that he learned it and played it properly in the scene. I immediately noticed that he was playing it right in the show and that made a huge difference to me as a musician. I really admire him for that, no matter how great of a guitar player he is. Most people would chicken out. He fully committed to it and the result is one of the most iconic scenes in TV history.
I think a lot of people don't realize how unusual it is for someone to be an actor of that caliber AND be able to play guitar at this level. Metallica isn't the easiest stuff to play. It's not like he's copping a John Denver song. Says a lot about the guy's talent and dedication. Most actors aren't ace musicians too.

The comment section filled with "omg hes a god at guitar" makes me lose a bit of sanity, same thing goes for the people calling it fake. It's like they don't realise the song is playing in the background and you can hear his guitar. The commenters proclaiming that master of puppets is a super hard song to play stink of inexperience of playing guitar. Nothing against the guy himself, he's a great actor and at least a decent guitar player.
Thank you Mr. Quinn for representing us nerdy metalheads well! You gotta give him props for his dedication to the role. He knows the notes he needs to hit. He made it look great on the show. Props to learning what he did! Much respect. It would be pretty cool if he came on stage with Metallica for one show dressed up as Eddie. Metallica seems to embrace the character as well, which is just freakin' cool! Yeah, he's obviously playing to a track and he missed notes, but he is an actor that is playing MoP... so only respect! Eddie Munson is my favorite character from Stranger Things man.
I’ve seen plenty of bands who didn’t/couldn’t play their studio tracks the same live. Not saying that’s James or Kirk, just that often we compare guitar players to note-for-note renditions of recordings even the dudes who wrote it don’t play anymore. If you saw this cat on a bar stage playing with a band, would you really notice the missing notes? If I had a nickel for every pro I’ve seen flub, skip, or improvise live, I’d be rich.
@@codacreator6162 So true! I don't mind when a musician misses some notes, since they're actually performing live and not to a pre-recording! I still think of that Nirvana performance when they were told they had to play to a pre-recording and just made it look so obviously fake. It's hilarious. Like I said, I respect this guy even more seeing how much he put into this!
@@clonedavenger There's an Angra TV recording when they had to sync with The studio tracks. So the band members changed their instruments and the drummer wasn't even there. Hilarious footage.
@@BrokenWingsOfADreamlessMind Dude that is freakin' hilarious! 🤣🤣

Eddie is the best character from any show I've ever seen in my life. No one will ever come close to having that level of an impact on millions in just one season.
Ook gramps let's get you to bed
@@harrycoochie6146 Name one then
honestly i feel like the fact that it’s not a perfect rendition of MOP plays in perfectly with the scene in stranger things. mainly because eddie and dustin’s plan was to cause a distraction for nancy, robin and steve. not to mention that the bats were fucking scary also i doubt eddie would be playing perfectly if he was under a lot of pressure. i’m glad that we got this scene and i’m in love with joseph quinn for this
Well the song was 2weeks old in the time frame of the show. Eddie was hiding for most of those 2 weeks, theres no internet , so in the ahow he learnes it by listening to it "wherever he did" a few times and played it. The character eddie munson is a guitar god
This is so cool. That scene will forever be remembered as one of the most badass moments in TV history

How could people be mad for “faking” anything???? ITS ACTING
You can’t imagine the huge smile on my face as he started playing master of puppets on the show! I was like a kid on Christmas morning!
This guy needs to walk out on stage at the next Metallica concert carrying a guitar. Who cares if he gets it right. He vindicated lot of 80's metal heads. Those guys were some of my best friends back in high school.
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!!
that's not him playing ... you can barely hear anything from him in a couple spots as he cannot even keep up with the 'shitty' version they recorded to pretend was his.
y'all smoking that cult worship
@@agnidas5816 he is playing, you can hear it alongside the backing track especially when he makes mistakes. i agree with the cult worship bit tho
I can appreciate that Joseph Quinn actually did a good portion of the song rather than miming it. Not perfect but its really nice and it shows his dedication to his acting.
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!!
He put 2 months of hard work into this song just to be able to play it convincingly for us in the show. This man is a legend.
he looks like load era kirk
he kinda does😳
That's awesome! He was no guifakist, as Stevie T would say!
A man of culture
stevie t is mega cringe
@@turkeywheat you're mega cringe
@@turkeywheat is that so? You're just uncultured, poor thing.
@@turkeywheat and u are?
I get the feeling that the writers did not know what a huge impact his character was gonna have. I really really wish he didn't have to die. But at the same time, he went out a true hero and that ending line was absolutely brilliant. He will be missed by many!!
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!!
Man if Hopper can be back... Eddie can also be brought back somehow. And I don't think that's the last of him anyways, even when I watched the end I felt like there was more to his story and they are just saving it for next season.
I will never forget Munson The Banished for as long as I live 🤘🏼🖤 Thank you Joseph Quinn, for not only dedicating quite a lot of time to practicing this song on guitar for one of the coolest and most metal scenes to have ever metal'd, but for showing us the sweeter, sensitive, more innocent side that a majority of these people (at least in my experience) have. Some of the most empathetic people I've ever met were Metalheads that genuinely care about other people's well-being and safety. Society likes to outcast anything and anyone they deem unorthodox, even based off of appearances alone. If you're different and you stray from what's expected of you, especially your appearance, you're considered bad and shunned for it... Society always does that, dehumanizing and discarding people that "don't fit the perfect mold". Thank you, for helping in continuing to push the agenda further that everyone should just be themselves, never change to fit that mold, do what's right, and make sure you're having a good time doing it, because society will find a reason to hate you anyway, so just be who you are and the right people will come 💖
Most metal ever 🤘

Keep in mind, season 4 of Stranger Things takes place during Spring Break in 1986, which means early to mid March.
Master of Puppets came out on March 3rd, 1986, so this means Eddie likely only had maybe 2 or 3 weeks to learn the song as well as he did, so that goes to show you just how talented he really was!
Unless he was a tape trader and received the bootleg of the 1985 New Year's Eve show in San Francisco, which would have been available on vinyl or cassette! This was the debut of Master of Puppets live.
@@Almeida5 man... how cool would that be to go back to the show and in the middle of a scene there's a tape in eddie's room that says "1985 san fran new years" or something? i think little details like that are awesome.
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!!
Lit af! This guys the man! There could be no better Eddie
True
What about Kirk or james
Or evh
Omg man he playing so bad, thats backing track, check out Randy Rhoads
@@JamesGrahamOfficial hahahah
Mad respect. First thing I looked at was if he was legit playing along with it, having played this song so many times in my life. I was blown away. Made me love this show even more knowing they put that much effort into it.
I’ve been a diehard Metallica fan since I was 12 years old when death magnetic came out. Seeing the love and admiration they’re getting now genuinely brings tears to my eyes.
*Its not that he didn’t play it well..he played it ok but the main issue is that he was hitting the WRONG notes in a lot of places…he should sit down and learn the actual notes like everyone else that “masters” master of puppets. I put many hours in on my guitar to learn how to play this song and many others so why can’t he?*
Awesome that he even practiced while wearing the rings, adding extra complexity to the playing and the acting. Very well done, Mr. Quinn!
ppl blaming him of faking the solo, wtf? he's an actor, not a musician, just appreciate that he put the effort to learn to play the song
Deserves all the acknowledgement and praise he’s been receiving.
He is playing along to the track and that is mainly what you can hear. Everyone who plays MOP knows that this isn't very good. HOWEVER...All the kudos in the world to him for actually practicing this and not faking it. Most wouldnt bother putting the time in.
That’s what I’m saying I’m just confused why so many people are praising it. Shows they have no idea what’s going on
@@Kbax3614 agreed
He sucks balls. Bottom line. Shit representation of metal. Might as well have played Taylor Swift.
I was gonna say if they think hes playing so well i must be a god at guitar lmao
it doesnt look like he;s playing
He was definitely feeling the burn lol. But hell yeah, he was perfect for Eddie
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
His ending on the show was a really unique experience for me, because usually when I fall in love with a character like that, when they die I feel a true sense of tragedy and am usually such a cry baby. This time felt different. I wasn’t even sad when he died because I just couldn’t accept it, just an immense feeling of disappointment that we weren’t getting him back to see where his story could go. They should figure out a way to bring him back.
He’s dead and it was confirmed he isn’t coming back lol
THIS IS HOW I FELT
Perfect play or not i don't care, he can do it and did it epically. He represented the whole metal community in that scene not just Metallica's and for that i thank you Joseph!
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!!
Right on man. True statement
Metallica isn’t metal anymore
Damn! He went all the way with the down-stroke picking!
RESPECT.
He must be new to guitar because its pretty sloppy but at least he's learning it which is dope.
@@Dirty_Dev Dude, I don't think he's that new. Sloppy? Sure!
Be well!! :)
@@trento777 Yeah 0:25 is where it got messy. Just being observant, I'm not hating lol 😜
@@Dirty_Dev Rock on, dude! We all need it!
@@Dirty_Dev the worst part is that he is playing along to a shitty version which he couldn't even play himself...
Dude was THE best thing to ever happen to Stranger Things! That scene was epic.
This just makes him more attractive 😍
Impressive downstrokes!
You know it’s going to happen. Dressed up as Eddie and invited to play onstage with Metallica 🤘🏻
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!
People don’t realize how hard the riff is palm muting E open twice then E1 prior to each note on A 2, 3, 4, 3, 2. In a second you’re down stroking 4 notes and it has to sound that fluent. My hand cramps thinking about playing this song haha, I wish it showed the classical solo as well, but super pumped! He did a great job
I told my fiancé the dual riff right after the acoustic part would have been amazing!
This is a shortened version of the song, for the show I’m guessing?
Pretty good skills bro! Spot on 👏 you were starting to play on the same style as James Hetfield, too, nice job with the down picking. 👍
I will say, even though he's only mimicking the song, this is still more devotion to an instrumental scene than 95% of actors out there. I've heard of studios bringing in an musician advisor to make these scenes more realistic, only for them to be ruined by the people doing the editing cutting and pasting different moments of the song than what's actually being heard...
There are parts he’s actually playing in the serie
He's not mimicking, the only part of the song he didn't play was the solo and he talked about that
He was playing on set, but they used a recording for the final edit and a hand double for the solo.
Sabia que era de verdade, acredito que ele volte com outros na série, obrigado cara,demais.
This is great. I'm sure there are plenty who are pointing out the mistakes because keyboard warriors are a cancer that infects everything, but this is someone who clearly plays the instrument and has played the song before, but it's not a song he regularly plays, or else it's just been a long time since he did. He obviously knows the fingerings, he's playing with nothing but down strokes, etc. It's an 8 minute song. Metallica's music isn't the most technically difficult stuff out there, especially in metal, but it's not the easiest stuff ever, especially their earlier stuff.
tl;dr: This kicks ass and I'm glad the actor actually played along instead of faking it like a lot of others would have had to do.
DRAWING VECNA 011 & STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !!!!
Pointing out mistakes doesn't make someone a keyboard warrior lmao. That's about the equivalent as saying "if someone doesn't agree with you, they are a racist"
But theres so many mistakes it seems like its the first time hes ever playing the song
@@safka420 oh well
He's faking it. Look at 0:30, he literally misses the queue to play the higher notes.
After my step dad introduced me to this band back in 2015, you should've seen my reaction when I heard this song 7 years later in a show I absolutely love
Joseph Quinn looks like that one therapist who you find just learning and being a master in martial arts and calling it “a hobby”. A calm pleasant face with hands just dropping fire beats
Major props for him practicing to do this for real dude. Playing a metallica song isnt something you can just try for fun, thats master level shit! Even with the mistakes it's still an insane feat. He said he had experience playing before but hadn't touched a guitar in years, but went out to buy one as soon as he got the part. Amazing work and dedication Joseph
Eddie / Joseph has captured our hearts and emotions with his sick guitar and acting skills🤘❤🔥🎸.
Way too many haters out there. Grow the F up, people.
Keep rockin' it, Joseph, avoid the hate.
Love how he's dressed like a school teacher and still just rocking out
It's just screaming youth and metal in the 80s .. such a perfect tune - such an incredible actor!
Had a feeling he could play for real. Hands down one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever seen on TV, be it a movie or show. Major goose bumps award.
I don't wanna be that guy, but he's playing this wrong.
Like the actual sound coming from his guitar is 90% wrong notes
Y'all are listening to the Metallica backing track as if that's what he playing
Again I don't wanna be that guy but he hits like 1 in every 10 notes
