What Have Stranger Things Done With Metallica?!

[@marcuslewitzki4610]

Leo Fender incorrectly called it a tremolo and most people have ever since called it that, but it really is a vibrato. Tremolo is a rhythmic oscillation of volume while a vibrato (a.k.a. whammy bar) oscillates the pitch. So it's basically a mechanical and arguably more controlled way of achieving the same thing you do when you bend a note using your finger.

No Al’s correct. The actor learned the song so he could accurately mime the song so it didn’t look cheesy. Supposedly Trujillo’s song over dubbed the solo. Kirk Hammett posted about it today.

It was great to hear such an iconic song played in stranger things. To be fair the music throughout has been great, maybe its just because i grew up in the 80's hearing so much of it, I don't know. i love rock and metal through and through but other genres can transport you back to a time or place even if it isn't your preferred type of music. They have been spot on with the music choices I think. Oh and what are the chances that strat was built in 1975?? 😁

It's called the stick of tremor. It has many names. And you got the main riff all (well, maybe not all but quite little tiny bit) wrong, Juztin!

[@TristanJCumpole]

That type of chord inversion is incredibly useful. It works perfectly for making standard "root as lowest note" power chords huge by mirroring the fifth down one octave, or by going full-on Blackmore doublestops a la Smoke On The Water or even better my favourite, "All Night Long" (that also has no rhyming lyrics which is super cool). Doublestops are equal parts power and death. Deather? Powerdeath?

[@ZoeandZacsDad]

When I think of run to the hills I think of the drums and bass lines and not so much the guitar. Love Maiden though , nothing more metal than that.

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

Master of Puppets is... also very thematically relevant, as it is revealed Vecna has been pulling the strings all along, and how Eddie playing the song backdrops cuts to all of our characters facing the Upside Down in their own way. Plus it just hits harder from the get, Run to the Hills is a classic in its own right but the more interesting guitar parts take too long to get to for Eddie and Dustin to run away from the bats, and finally if you take note of the dates in the show, Master of Puppets would only have been out for less than a month in the universe of the show which makes it even more powerful and impressive on Eddie's part!
