Joseph Quinn

referencennTurns out, Joseph Quinn wasn’t just faking it with that epic Metallica scene in Stranger Things—he could already play guitar before filming. Still, he went the extra mile and bought his own guitar, just to really nail Eddie Munson’s wild “Master of Puppets” solo in Chapter Nine: The Piggyback (2022). He spent months practicing, working on his chops and making sure every note looked and sounded legit on camera. The dude wanted it to be believable, and honestly, it paid off—fans were obsessed with how authentic it felt. Even Metallica gave him props for his performance. It’s not every day you see an actor fully commit like that; most would probably just fake it and hope for the best, but Quinn wanted to do the role justice. Now the scene’s legendary, and everyone’s rewatching it, trying to catch every little detail he threw in.

So, this kid lands a gig on Stranger Things, right? His mum calls up the family, probably thinking it’s just another acting job her son’s managed to snag. But then, his aunt totally freaks out—like, full-on excitement mode. Suddenly, his mum’s realizing, “Wait, this is actually a big deal?” She honestly had no clue how massive Stranger Things was. Her sister’s reaction makes it obvious: she’s practically yelling, “Are you serious?!” I mean, that’s classic family stuff—sometimes your folks are the last to know what you’re actually doing is kind of huge. You can just imagine the aunt losing her mind, maybe even bragging to her friends five minutes later. Meanwhile, the mum’s sitting there, probably a little stunned, maybe even thinking she should’ve watched the show before. The whole thing is just hilariously down-to-earth—like, fame blindsides regular people in the weirdest ways.
