@@DaveLombardo77 your english is fine dude, nice job :)

Yep. He died defending a town that hated him.

He also chose to sacrifice himself when he could have left with Dustin. Decided this time I'm not going to run. If he went back with Dustin the bats may have followed through the gate and invaded Hawkins. True hero.

Well he barely knew her, but he clearly had feelings for her. I mean if they hadn't both died, who knows, maybe Eddie and Chrissy would have ended up together.

Yes, to die side by side with that character after that epic solo would grant us both access to Valhalla, and if not then on to another epic battle taking Valhalla.

Till Valhalla my friend 😎

Got me into it ha!

Doesn't hurt that they chose to use one of the sickest metal songs of all time. Master of Puppets is a legendary metal song.

Knew he was a hero ever since he started fighting the bats

Don’t stop! I started in HS and then stopped after about a year because I hit a plateau. Picked it back up last year and it’s my biggest regret not keeping up with it-how good I could have been if I had those extra 12 years under my belt.

DRAWING STRANGER THINGS CHARACTERS... | IT'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL !

Shit was wild because that damn thing was spotless!

Metalhead semantics. Gotta love it.

Actually thought this was one of the stupidest scenes I’ve ever watched

@@aidan3277 Actually... I get it bro. The thought of this scene being just kinda stupid did came trough in my mind, but then it got to me... and realized that in the end it all comes down to attitude. Just look at what is going on in the scene! the song I've always loved since my teenage years, the background, the hell-bats, the red lightning, the ambientation... its just sooo well executed! and then mah boy Dustin just headbanging like a true metal maggot! Srsly It just somehow draw a smile in my face and I went from being laying down in my couch with a "meh, its ok" attitude to literally sit down straight and starting to headbang a little and eventually straight up screaming "Hell yeah man!" to my screen (and to my wife, who was also watching hahaha) like I was in a freaking show or something, we enjoyed it sooo much!!! I suddenly became all about it and just let myself get driven by the moment. And srsly that song... Damn, it just fits PERFECTLY with what was going on! and the character and the way they pulled it off, its so freaking awesome! So please... dont be THAT guy. The sour, party-boomer guy... You decide how you react to everything. And tbh the scene is *legit* cool... easily the best scene in the whole 4 seasons and just made this franchise immortal IMO. Gotta love it!

No, he's been on screen for just over an hour

he had 70 minutes

Carried the episode?? No, the show. 🙌🙌🙌

He didn't carry the episode, there were several other MVPs.

He left such a strong and wonderful impression that we will never forget!

Ikr I love the inclusion of 80s music, both Metallica and Kate Bush

I swear

Agreed, the whole season was just so good. I'm not a huge fan of ST but this season got me hooked. This scene in particular is so good it made me get Avengers endgame vibes.

They were technically 9 seconds late if he really had 20 seconds left to play the solo as the solo is about 29 seconds long

I was so hoping his actor actually shredded this solo instead of it just being a stunt double or whatever the equal to that would be. A character's role always comes through the best when the actor fully embraces the role.

He was for real? Holy shit.

@@theonefrancis696 Yes! I'm not joking. There was an interview recently where Joe talked about how much fun he had getting to play that.

Link of that interview please

It’s so cool. What they did was they got Rob Trujillo’s (Metallica bassist) son to record the guitar for this, but Joseph actually played the song while filming this scene. I’m a metalhead myself, I know this whole song like it’s the back of my own band and watching his hands it is clear he actually knew what he was doing! God i love this scene and i love this show.

I'm sorry for your loss.

That sucks to hear man I'm sure he was there in spirit rocking out with you

🙏

So sorry for your loss! He was watching with you, im betting he loved every second of it

he's jamming away in spirit always✌🏼RIP

Just a great dude. UGHHHHHA!

Jason just used the other tragedies for attention for the basketball team. He was an awful person.

I also agree with the show lol?

Yes you are awesome ❤️🌹🥰🤗

If Chrissy and Eddie got together than Jason would probably have Chrissy burned at the stake as a witch

@@divyanshnarang6376 thats right lol

@@hyrulemazta2296 These two along with imo Eleven closing the gate are the best epic scenes in the series, but there's also a few of the smaller just characters talking moments that I would say are just as good.

Also shout out to Aidan Fischer, who played the solo!

ehh i low key was gona agree with u untill i read some comments and watched it more carefully even gave netflix some props then the painfull truth hit and after all its still netflix and best thing they do is eff things up lol yeah the finger movements and were hes "hiting" the strings are on the curect frets and all but if u look closely at his picking hand thats what gives it away at 0:38 hes not playing it but i will give it to him one of the best fakes a show has used dude actually bothered to learn the notes but it is james hetfield even someone that plays guitar it wold take them atleast half a year of playing to even be able to play master of puppets at half the tempo unles they some kind of prodigy lol

he faked half of it tho. but still played it so close to real

@@zaited.x.dahlia8788 there is a video of him practicing this song so he did learn it 🤣🤣

@@_boreklipogaca like the first part till he got to the galops seems hella real cuz even the tempo was slower then the original thats what made me think it was real cuz of the slower tempo but ones it got to the 38 sec mark and i looked at his picking hand im like ok not real but he did bother to learn the notes cuz the fingers are on the right strings and the right frets but unless you have some time playing guitar ur not going to get those down strokes at tempo ... low key that song is the staple for any guitarist learing how to down pick its like the holy grail of down picking if u can play that at tempo with just down strokes then u can play anything lol

He’s truly ascended the Stairway To Heaven now, even though to most in Hawkins he’s travelling the Highway To Hell

He had a great character arc and fantastic chemistry, but now I'm less invested in season 5 knowing that he won't be in it.

The most METAL

@@stevel7798 agreed but the “i didnt run this time” thing annoyed me lol, he already had his hero moment, stopping to face the bats instead of continuing to distract them on his bike was just idiotic and made no sense. was just a dumb way of killing the character:/

@@beerody Yeah that bugged me too. He should have been a permanent addition to the cast. But I guess you never know who the fans resonate with while you're filming.

I completely agree. I’ve rewatched it 30 times

You don’t. You just can’t

This scene and Max’s scene in Dear Billy are iconic!

Max's scene was also superb. And the long multiple-shots hospital scene from season 3 episodes 5 and 6 was also really great

Red storm or red tunder?🤣🤣🤣🤣

With a guitar that exists in the dark dimension

The fact that the time this happened Eddie had under a month to learn the Song, makes Him even more metal

@@kamoflawedhawg535 He actually "played" the song though. What they did was have Joseph play the song and they dubbed the son playing over it. Because Joseph goes note for note with the song as it's played. If you know how to play the song you can watch him play it just fine in the show.

OMG, I sobbed through the entire scene from the point where Eddie decided to turn the bats' attention on himself all the way through until past the point where he died. Then, later in the episode, I sobbed again when Dustin was talking to Eddie's uncle and told him Eddie died a hero. I'm even getting choked up just typing this 😭

Eddie The Bard

Long live Eddie the banished

nay, Eddie the Redeemed!

I know right

It was actually a body double

absolute madness

Totally 😭😭

Good solo but not the sickest try looking at slayers raining blood for a real solo

Not one character should give the vibes of being permanent. In a show where every season is dangerous they should put their characters in danger. Although I would’ve rather them killing off someone from the main cast since season 1 since it would’ve been more impactful and it would’ve given one of their best characters more than a season to shine.

Honestly I think his death was easily foreshadowed and seen by the fans BUT he was immortalized like someone else said here. Now when I think of Stranger Things this scene and his death will be with me. The man was running for his life since like episode 1 but he finally decided to do something brave and yeah he died but he died knowing he helped save the day.

Honestly, while his death was sad, what was he going to do if he made it out alive, everyone thought he was the one killing all of the teens. Heck, even afterwards, everyone blamed his "cult" for the "earthquake" so he was screwed regardless. Honestly I think him dying was the best possible option for what could have happened to him because he died a hero rather than a coward.

Totally agree!!!

Honestly, This was perfect! Think about it, Everyone will know who he is, what he did, and how he ended, A true metal head. The kind of folks who run to danger like its a slumber party, that’ll take meaning of “Having balls” 30 levels up because these kinda folks are not the average joes hell even gangsters show them proper respect because being an OG is nothing like a rockstar we all know it. and Eddie Munson is the prime example of WHO THEY ARE. Legends withen a few moments

The scream he did after he said that like pent up rage and he's getting back at Vecna through the music

And the last

Metal

That is not rock n roll. That is metal brother

That ain't no ordinary rock n' roll, boy... that's good ol' METAL.

This is possibly the greatest metal song ever.

Hey he was left in the upside down, while it may seem sad, think about how badass it would be if Eddie came back as a soldier of the Mind Flayer his guitar leading the charge of demo-beasts, and he comes through the gate playing something like Stranger in a Strange Land or Power Slave by Iron Maiden
