Eddie Munson playing Master Of Puppets on a BC Rich Warlock in the Upside Down in the final episode of Stranger Things season 4 is going to be hard to top for 2022's most metal moment. And if there is anyone out there who hadn't heard the track before and wants to learn it, we've got good and bad news.
The bad news is Metallica's riff machine James Hetfield plays it all downpicked, and that is not easy. The good news is learning it will develop your right hand rhythm chops massively, and if you want to use upstrokes, that's fine too!
