The Stranger Things writers' room has shared a video of Joseph Quinn absolutely nailing Metallica’s 1986 hit 'Master of Puppets'.
Obviously, this story contains references to the final episodes of Stranger Things 4, so here's your heads up to stop reading if you haven't seen it. So here's your spoiler alert.
And if you haven't seen it, you do need to hurry up because you are missing out.

Anyway, back to business.
Quinn played the loveable yet misunderstood Eddie Munson in the fourth season of the Netflix sci-fi hit.
During his most memorable - and heartbreaking - scene, Eddie played Metallica’s 'Master of Puppets' while in the Upside Down to distract the demon bats.
And that was actually him on top of a trailer park home playing the guitar.
While some people questioned whether Quinn really did learn the song, the writers' room has given everyone the hard evidence and fans have gone wild.
One social media user said: "Thank you so much."
A second chipped in with: "JOSEPH QUINN PLAYING THE MASTER OF PUPPETS SOLO IM LOSING IT."
A third added: "Okay so bring him back so he can do it again."
After Eddie's final stand in the Upside Down, he sadly gets torn to shreds by the bats.
Since the second volume of season four got released, fans have been calling on The Duffer Brothers to bring Eddie back.
More than 53,000 fans have signed a Change.org petition to bring back Stranger Things 4 breakout character.
"This is a petition I have started to bring back fan favourite Eddie Munson," the petition creator wrote.
"The Duffer Brothers have unfairly killed him off and many other fans and I think he deserves to be brought back and not just as a flashback, please sign this petition to spread awareness."
The person who started the petition is far from being alone in her newfound love for Eddie Munson.
You could even say the comments section of the petition has lit up like an Upside Down lightning strike.
One signee wrote: "His death didn't seem to have any meaning beyond shock value and it sucks to have such a good character thrown away like that. I want more backstory on Eddie and I need his name to be cleared."
A second added: "His death was probably the worst thing this show has ever done. The fact the Duffers are so adamant to keep him dead is annoying and an awful choice to be honest."
A third simply said: "EDDIE DESERVES TO GRADUATE."
So will anything come of the petition? It's doubtful. The Duffer Brothers have their vision for Stranger Things season five, and it likely has nothing to do with pandering to the whims of fans.
