Stranger Things: How was Metallica’s Robert Trujillo’s son on the show?

Tye Trujilloson of bassist Metallica – Robert Trujillo – participated in the fourth season of Stranger Things. The young man was in an iconic moment of Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) in Volume 2.

Trujillo, who followed in his father’s footsteps, recorded the guitar tracks used in the version of “Matser of Puppets,” of Metallicaplayed by Eddie on the Serie. The character climbed to the top of the trailer itself in the inverted world with a guitar and an amplifier to play the music and attract the bats from vecna.

In addition to him, the guitarist of Metallica, Kirk Hammettcollaborated in the recordings.

Robert showed pride in his son and posted a video on social media under the name of Tye in the credits: “That’s my boy. Proud of you, Tye! A big thanks to Kirk Hammett for the help.”

Why did Eddie choose Metallica?

The choice of music well reflects the character’s characteristics – who is a fan of thrash metal – as pointed out by Screen Rant. Despite this, there were other possible choices of hits released in 1986, such as Van Halen’s “Dreams” and Europe’s “The Final Countdown.”

The lyrics of “Master of Puppets” may have been decisive in the choice of screenwriters for Stranger Things. James Hetfield, the band’s leader, talks about the loss of control and the use of drugs in the music. The dark verses match the menacing atmosphere of the Upside Down.

“‘Master of Puppets‘ deals with drugs. How things are turned upside down, instead of you taking over and doing it, drugs control you,” the singer said of the track in an interview with Thrasher Magazine.
