Prior to their set, Metallica took a moment to rock out with Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn backstage at the festival. During this jam session, Metallica’s James Hetfield revealed that he’s been a fan of Stranger Things since season one. “[For] my kids and I, it’s been a bonding experience for us,” he said. Next, Metallica and Quinn took their talents to the former’s rehearsal trailer where Quinn showed off his guitar skills with a performance of “Master Of Puppets,” the song Quinn performed during an important scene in the recent season of Stranger Things.
To top everything off, Metallica ended the moment by gifting Quinn with a brand new guitar, one that was similar to the guitar he used during the scene in Stranger Things.
