Metallica - yes, THAT Metallica - loved Eddie. James Hetfield legit talked to Joe about bonding w/ his kids over Eddie.
Next, they let Joe jam w/ them which - name me ONE person who has not dreamed of being a famous band member at some point.
Lars tells Joe that he is so good that he fully offers him a job and the illustrious title of fifth member of Metallica. Of Metallica - arguably one of the best bands of the last 50 years.
Joe Quinn, 5th member of Metallica. WHAT!?
Now, let's talk about @Netflix, those greedy SOBs that wouldn't allow Joe take home Eddie's 'sweetheart' guitar. Despite Joe infusing Eddie with such crack-like charm the character nearly single-handedly earned the streaming platform countless new viewers and rabid fans, Netflix said no.
Metallica got together, said 'fuck that noise, kid deserves it' AND BUYS JOE THE SAME FREAKIN' GUITAR.
A guitar that they then sign with heartfelt personal messages, making said guitar an actual priceless item.
But wait, they like Joe so much that before he leaves they hand him an All-Access Pass. All-Access - anywhere he wants - at any Metallica gig.
ANYWHERE.
ANY TIME.
ANY GIG.
Last but certainly not least, during their encore of Master of Puppets, Metallica cast Eddie up on the live screen giving him the chance to live his dream, to get so much better than he was given.
