‘Master of Puppets’ got some ‘Stranger Things’ love. Now Metallica returns the favor

Kate Bush isn’t the only musician getting her world rocked by “Stranger Things.” On Tuesday, Metallica shared its reaction to the show using its song “Master of Puppets,” saying it was “totally blown away.” The latest volume of Netflix’s hit sci-fi series, which touched down at the crack of Friday, features an epic moment for actor Joseph Quinn, who appears in Season 4 as fan-favorite metal head Eddie Munson. Hours after the band reacted, the Metallica Instagram page also shared a video of Hetfield playing the edgy “Master of Puppets” opening riff onstage in Prague. “Master of Puppets” is the second ’80s track to be featured prominently in the fourth season of “Stranger Things.” The first half of Season 4 spotlighted Bush’s 1985 cut “Running Up That Hill” in a pivotal way for actor Sadie Sink’s character, Max Mayfield. “Running Up That Hill” and “Master of Puppets” took the first and second spots, respectively, on iTunes’ top songs ranking on Tuesday.
