Fun fact: Eddie didn't actually die from those bats, it was actually his back snapped from carrying the entire season

He is literally like us, he didn't want his character to die so soon.

Never thought I'd cry like a baby when Eddie died. Cried even more when Dustin broke the news to his uncle. He's fun, he's funny, he's grass and he's metal. It's such a heartfelt tragedy that he died.

I love Maya Hawke's reaction. She looks so blown away by how well Metallica goes with the Upside Down.

It’s so nuts to me that Joe Quinn is so soft spoken and shy and he plays Eddie 😂 testament to an amazing actor

He deserves that guitar. He is the most talked about on season 4. They should gift it to him for just that.

3:02 Joe Keery dryly commenting on Joeseph‘s actions cracks me up every time: "Oh he‘s taking it."…… …."Yeah he took it."

I love how Joseph and Joe were like 😳 while Maya was like 😱

Eddie is irreplaceable. He will we missed.

I love how fittingly Eddie grabs the Iron Maiden tape & screams “This IS music!! Oh...and Eddie lives.

maya being absolutely jaw dropped by this is me

That's the most heavy metal scene ever - a kick-ass guitar solo, post-apocalyptic-like backdrop, hellish bats, red lightning. Banging my head just thinking about it.

It's a shame Eddie had to die, but he definitely made history with that scene. MOST METAL EVER 🤘🤘🤘

This why stranger things is so good, not only because of the cast, it's because of how they play their character, that's how we get attached to new characters like Eddie, or Alexei, or Bob, the death scene for Eddie was so touching because of Gaten matarazzo and Josephs Quinn's incredible acting skills

Why is nobody talking about the end I just died of laugher when he took the guitar 😂😂

The moment he said "I'm not a hero" in episode 7 I knew he'd sealed his fate

Joseph is just the absolute sweetest. He’s so soft-spoken but has such profound kindness.

Didn't expect that accent from Eddie

8+ months later and Eddie's scene is still THEE greatest scene in Stranger Things, if not of all time in a series

Just love the mix of Maya Hawk’s shocked expression, and Joe Keery’s very passionate “aw yeah buddy”. Really just sums up how we all reacted to this scene

The best character in st 4 ...Eddie Munson... you'll be missed man

*Maya Hawke:* "Holy Shii ... MOKES" 😂😂 0:50

What blows my mind is how amazingly he not just played the series role but he WAS the heavy metal D&D friends that I hung out with. I knew Eddie Munsons in my teenage years. I played guitar with them, smoked some good stuff with them and played a lot of D&D. He captured the spirit of THAT person perfectly. I don’t think anyone on the show was quite as authentically 80’s as he was. I cried like a wee babe when he died.

"It makes me like metal" damn right it does, Eddie is a character that makes modern day audiences not judge the metal head they see walking down the street because after seeing him in Stranger Things people realise there's a person under it all who isn't intimidating and has a lot more to give if you just strike up a conversation with them 🤟

Eddie’s character was based off of Damien Echols, who was a part of the west Memphis 3. An outsider, accused of a crime he didn’t commit because of his taste in music & interests. This song choice is also fitting because Metallica let them use their music in a documentary about the west Memphis 3 called paradise lost. The history and thought put into Eddie makes me appreciate and love the character so much more.

Why is nobody talking about how joe and maya were so calm and chill when he took the guitar 😭

It's always cool to see the cast reaction after they release the final editing for everyone to see

Good job taking that guitar at the end Joseph. You deserve it after your amazing performance throughout season 4. 🎸🎸🎸

Eddie was a great addition to the cast. Theatrical and funny as the Dungeon Master, but then throughout the season, his arc showed us a young man with heart and with the desire to do the right thing. I was hoping we could all have one more season with him.

"oh he's takin it" "yea he took it"

I love how Joe Quinn is very humble when people ask about his character

Joseph Quinn did a fantastic job as Eddie just insane how he made us love Eddie and became a fan favorite so fast.

They may bring him back because the fans liked him so much. Hear me out, Eddie was armed with a shield with spikes on it to shield him from the bats. Now in DND there's a vampire who is known for coming back to life that also has a shield with spikes on it (very similar to what Eddie had). We often see that DND foreshadows what's going to happen, so the fact he uses the same shield as someone who returns from the dead is interesting and could single to his return. Not only that, but the guy who comes back to life in DND is a vampire, Eddie was killed by bats, everyone knows the legend says if you're killed by a bat then you come back as a vampire. Eddie can also be seen with bat tattoos on his arms that could also have the same meaning. Is Eddie the DND character that comes back to life? Is the shield just a coincidence? Is the fact that the character is from DND help single it's foreshadowing? Idk. But it wouldn't be the first time they brought back a fan favorite character. Look at Hopper.

The casting of this series is one of the greatest jobs ever done! Brilliant choices all over!

Eddie deserves this guitar, the show can't go on without him.

2:55 he was probably smiling because he just got the idea too take the guitar and walk off like nothing happened also I love how maya starts smiling as soon as she sees him get up because she already knows he is doing something and she has done this before with joe in interviews they play with each other like sibling’s

I was a teenage metal head. Now, I'm an old metal head, mom, and wife. Eddie's character spoke to me as one outsider to another outsider. I had a buddy, he was Eddie to a T. Now I thrash out with my adult kids. It is yet another side of me they got to see because of this show. Thanks Duffer Brothers, for your love of the outsiders.

1:24 he has to shade his eyes from the overwhelming awesomeness

The entire scene on top of a cladded trailer, with red lightening, a hoarde of man eating monster bats coming, while someone is being chased by a killer monster man looks, feels, and plays out exactly as an 80s metal video would. It's on par with something like Á Tout Le Monde or anything else Megadeth and Slayer produced for their music videos. Whoever it was that thought of this scene and how it played out was dedicated to the spirit of 80s metal

Even though Eddie was a new character that has a short lived part in the show. He left an impact on the show that is nothing less than amazing. From the arc written, casting, actor's talent and skill, to the execution by the Duffer Brothers. An absolute homerun. Hellfire Club for life.

Eddie absolutely CARRIED this entire season. Every scene he was in, Jo just rocked the hell outta it. I knew the entire time, he was going to get the Barb/Bob/Billie treatment. But it still hurt! I lost a best friend! Rock on Ed, you goddamn star

i get goosebumps each time it starts. Such a great overall scene. The song was perfect and his roll was played masterfully.

Maya's face of just sheer "I knew it was epic, but _DAMN_ Dude..."

"Never change Dustin Henderson." That phrase is what changed my opinion about this character.

Eddie is literally the coolest person to me in this show im gonna miss him so much…

the maya’s reaction🥺🤲 she’s so sweet

Eddie deserves a second life. He played an amazing role and I was really sad to see he didn’t make it.

Eddie was a fantastically written character, wonderfully acted and portrayed. It would have been so easy to portray him over the top as so many ( Sean Penn ) have in film and TV. Eddie had heart. He had feelings and thoughts.

Dude seeing Dustin just vibing appreciating Eddie shredding that thing makes the scene of Eddie dying in front of him that much harder.

1:16 that face!!!!!! I did the same smile when the Master of Puppets starting!!!! :D

it's cool the fact that they watched this scene for the first time together. Many are confused cause they say "but they recorded it so they know this scene", yeah but the scene wasn't edited and put together 😂, it's the first time for them too watching this masterpiece.

Love Joe. Perfect casting. No one could of pulled off Eddie better than him. I hope we'll see him somehow, someway in Season 5. Maybe like Kas?

I love it how Eddie has only been in one season and he became my 3rd favorite character in the series behind Steve and Hopper

Joes first reaction “oh, yeah buddy!” Love it

I can’t believe there isn’t more people talking about how he just took the guitar 💀

It shows how well his character was liked that in just one season and as a new character so late in the show that no one wanted him to die.

Maya’s face and Joe’s “yeah buddy” are hilarious. NEED to see them reacting to the full scene.

The fact he knows it's probably the last performance of his life makes it so much more badass

He literally performed the best scene of the season. I might actually say of the whole series.

He takes the guitar. *thinking* "I earned this guitar, bro, see ya" haha 😄

I love that Felicia got to do this interview. And that scene just had such goosebumps breaking out all over me. I am a country chick, but also a nerd and a metal head!

maya was watching in such utter disbelief i love it

The way he just walked off😂😂😂

Joseph really walked up, took the guitar and left 💀 he's so funny

Oooo I still get goosebumps all over my body. I love you Eddie! Favorite character beside Dustin.

Eddie was the best character introduced in the show since it began. So unbelievably sad he's gone :(

Season 5 will primarily take place in Hawkins In an interview with Collider, the Duffer Brothers confirmed that Season 5 will mostly take place in Hawkins, Indiana, where it all started. At the end of Season 4, most of the crew who diverged out of the small town made it back in some capacity, except for Dr. Martin Brenner, who died out in the New Mexico desert at the hands of Colonel Sullivan’s men. And with the Upside Down encroaching on Hawkins in a big way, it sure seems like a major battle is in store.

Maya Hawke's reaction is all of us😂

Was absolutely amazing from the moment he pick up the guitar from his trailer. To the very moment he stops playing. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

I love how Joe and Joe both wore proper clothes while Maya's out rockin PJs

They need to bring Eddie back. They can come with any reason behind and I bet nobody will complaint about it.

Most unnecessary and painful death ever. We need to get Eddie back somehow.

It's SOOOO great watching them all get excited & watch in awe just like the rest of us! ☺

I wish for every actor out there to get a part that makes you feel as legendary as this. ❤️

I love the cast. You can tell they genuinely have a good time. And even tho Eddie was new, I wasn't ready to lose him THIS soon wtf. I wanted to see more of that group man... Eddie/Steve/Robin/Nancy. 💔 But he's right, it was a cool way to go out. lol

Eddie would’ve made a great addition to the babysitters club with Steve 😢 his character could’ve had all these great interactions with the other characters. He could’ve played DND with will. Been a better big brother to Little miss ginger snaps. Teach mike to stand up for himself. Probably could’ve shown Eleven how to shred on the guitar with her mind 😭

You all are awesome and amazing. Joseph I literally cry and i watched it twice. We want you back in season 5.

This scene still gives goosebumps 🥺😭 Hope we magically see Eddie come back ❤️ Like Dustin said... he's a hero ❤️

Normally I’m against bringing characters back to life but I’ll make an exception for Eddie. He was too good!

Joe and Maya’s reaction are exactly how I felt watching Eddie play Master of Puppets. I was speechless. Blown. Awayyy.

0:44 'oh' I love maya's reaction

This season was my favorite season. Eddie and that whole relationship with Dustins character. What they did with Sam this season. And one and eleven and Russia and Hopper. So good. Best season since Oner.

That scene will live on as one of the sickest scenes of all time. And as heartbroken as I am that we won’t get more Eddie, I’m so glad that he got such an epic send off. I’m so impressed by his performance. He deserves all the success and opportunities he receives after this ❤️

Steve so serious and curious about Eddie's preparation and performance for the guiter act. Respect !!

This was so cool. His movements were on point! Totally could see him him on a gig

i get goosebumps and start smiling everytime i see this scene

Stranger things truly is such a great show and honestly I don’t think the Duffer Brothers could have picked a better cast, they play their characters so well, like they were literally born to play those roles, even the roles that are really hard to play the actors do such an amazing job. I love this show so much and it’s made me laugh, cry, and overall so happy, and I can’t wait for the next season

Eddie is literally the best character EVER

ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST BADASS SCENES IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE HISTORY, NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT

I'm really hoping that, bare minimum, Eddie gets to come back in flashbacks just like Billy has been. Man deserves it.

Such a fantastic moment!!!! The scene with him screaming “MOST METAL MOMENT EVER!!!”

I like, how calm the were like joe was just like “yeah he took it 😐” like this happens all the time lmao

Him taking the guitar at the end is such a mood, he deserves to keep it! I'm really happy that Metallica gave him the replica of the guitar and signed it, he was so happy too. Other than that, Joseph really did the metal industry well. I'm very proud of him

Even if it’s for a flashback or a prequel series, he’s so amazing

Joseph Quinn -- this was the first time I have seen any of his work, but he is is hands-down one of the best young(er) actors I have the pleasure of watching in recent years. Hope to see more of you, sir!

I love how it was their first time seeing it. You can tell by their reactions that they know they are witnessing a legendary moment in the show.

I love Maya Hawke's reaction.

If Eddie were brought back somehow, I'd be extremely happy. As a fan of metal loved his character, but in general he was likable and well written.

They can bring back Eddie. He died in the upside down, so there's gotta be a way to bring him back. All it takes is an uproar from the fans and the duffer brother will lift up their magical pencil and write a story.

Rock n roll. Between Master of Puppets and Running Up That Hill and everything in between the music was stupendous this season. Props to the Music Supervisor Nora Felder and her team!
