Stranger Things spoiler ahead – You may have recently heard that the Metallica song “Master of Puppets” makes an appearance in the Netflix show Stranger Things – but you may not have known that the son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo actually contributed to that song’s cameo. Via his Instagram account, Robert Trujillo made a post to highlight his son’s work on the song, noting that he provided additional guitar tracks to the “Master of Puppets” performance.
So while it may appear that Eddie Munson (played by actor Joe Quinn) is playing the classic Metallica cut all on his own, he is actually getting some assistance from that of Tye Trujillo. Per the caption associated with Robert Trujillo’s Instagram post, he wrote:
That is incredibly cool Tye! Congrats on the awesome gig!

Tye happens to be in a band called OTTO (where he plays bass). If you want to check out what we wrote about OTTO – and learn about the other nine bands we covered – follow the link below.
