Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 is sort of right here. We are able to’t wait to see who will fall beneath Vecna’s Curse and the music that saves them — if it saves them in any respect. There are a number of theories floating round concerning the music Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) performs on guitar in the Upside Down. May he be enjoying Nancy Wheeler’s (Natalia Dyer) favourite music on the suggestion of Robin Buckley (Maya Hawke)?
[SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things Volume 1.]
Vecna’s Curse is damaged by music
In Stranger Things 4 Volume 1, Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) is depressed. She carries guilt for the demise of her brother, Billy (Dacre Montgomery) in season 3. This makes her a great candidate for Vecna’s Curse.
In what has change into probably the most talked-about episode this season, “Dear Billy,” Max stumbles upon Vecna’s Thoughts Lair. Trapped, Max comes near being one other certainly one of Vecna’s victims. However again in the actual world, Nancy Wheeler and Robin Buckley uncover music can save her. It’s what saved Victor Creel (Robert Englund) — Vecna/001/Henry Creel’s father — from sure demise. When Max hears Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” she breaks free from Vecna’s clutches.
Some followers assume Robin tells Eddie what music to play on guitar in ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 Volume 2
Armed with this information, Stranger Things followers can count on extra epic music scenes in Volume 2. Fans are selecting aside pictures from the trailer and guessing who Vecna’s victims are in the ultimate two episodes. Some assume certainly one of his victims is Nancy.
If Nancy turns into a sufferer, one Reddit person thinks Robin and Eddie will play a pivotal function in her. “Robin gets a look at Nancy’s music tapes so maybe she is the one who tells Eddie what song to play to free her from Vecna,” mentioned the Redditor.
“It would be awesome if it was like ‘Reign in Blood’ by Slayer,” another Reddit user commented. “Just something super not Nancy.”
In one other remark, a Redditor said: “We’re about to find out that Nancy is a secret metal head! Love it!!” All of those theories are believable as a result of, as another comment reads, Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) might have launched Nancy to this style of music. She enjoys it as a result of it reminds her of him.
Eddie Munson’s guitar solo in the Upside Down might be to avoid wasting Nancy
Within the teaser for Volume 2, Eddie Munson grabs his electrical guitar from the Upside Down model of his bed room. He then shreds a guitar solo on prime of his trailer. We don’t hear the music he’s enjoying, however some followers assume Eddie’s hand actions lend themselves to the chords in Metallica’s “Master of Puppets.”
Stranger Things 4 is ready in March 1986 — the identical month and 12 months Metallica launched the album — so the music is sensible. Additionally, the lyrics match the plot in Stranger Things 4 with Vecna puppeteering his victims.
On prime of all that, Quinn listened to “a lot of Metallica” to get into character (by way of The Hollywood Reporter ). It’s solely potential “Master of Puppets” is the music Eddie performs in the Upside Down in Volume 2. May it even be the music that pulls Nancy from Vecna’s Curse?
