What's up? My name is Aiden Fischer. I
0:02
was Eddie Mson's guitar double in season
0:04
4 of Stranger Things for Master of
0:06
Puppets. What was it like working with
0:07
Joseph Quinn on set? How did you two
0:09
sync up? Um, Joseph was great. Super
0:12
down to earth, super chill guy. Um yeah,
0:17
we spent about a half an hour probably
0:19
like working on the guitar stuff um with
0:22
his he had he had a guitar tutor there
0:24
with him and so us three were kind of
0:26
like talking about the song and how it
0:28
would look on set and and uh what what
0:31
we were doing pretty much like how we
0:33
were going to move and stuff. And the
0:35
one thing that we uh that I noticed at
0:38
least was uh and a lot of people don't
0:40
really notice this that uh the guitar
0:43
that Eddie uses, there's no whammy bar
0:45
on it. And in Master Puppets, there's
0:48
like two different parts where you use a
0:50
whammy bar. So that was my biggest thing
0:52
was like how are we going to make that
0:54
work? And so we um I think Joseph just
0:56
threw out the idea just to like make a
0:58
big bend movement to cover that wammy
1:01
bar missing. And so we just did that. So
1:04
actually there's no wie. So if you if
1:06
you go back and listen to the song,
1:07
you'll notice there's a whammy bar there
1:09
and there's not in the actual on the
1:11
actual guitar in the show. So a little
1:13
thing there. How did your involvement
1:14
with Stranger Things begin and what were
1:16
those early days like? So my involvement
1:19
began with a Facebook post.
1:22
Um they were looking, it was a
1:24
background company casting tailor made.
1:26
They were looking for a guitar player
1:29
for a certain scene
1:31
and I saw the ad and I
1:35
applied for it. Um, they wanted a video
1:38
about 30 seconds long playing uh, guitar
1:42
like shredding and so I sent some like
1:44
Eddie Van Halen kind of stuff
1:47
and they got back to me and they liked
1:50
my audition video and they wanted
1:54
pictures of my hands front and back. So,
1:56
I sent them those
1:58
and then they sent uh they told me that
2:00
they wanted me to learn Master of
2:01
Puppets and and to send the video of me
2:03
me playing that. So, I did that and then
2:06
they told me it was for Stranger Things
2:07
and I was blown away um when I heard
2:09
that. I was a huge fan going into it
2:12
ever since I was a freshman in high
2:13
school. So, um yeah, super excited when
2:17
I first heard that. What advice would
2:18
you give to someone who wants to shred
2:20
like Eddie and where should they start?
2:24
say first buy a guitar.
2:27
Um, it can be any guitar, cheap one, you
2:30
know,
2:31
and start taking lessons and watch
2:33
YouTube videos because I I probably
2:36
learned a lot more
2:38
myself watching YouTube videos honestly
2:40
than I have in lessons. You know, you
2:43
can pretty much find anything out there
2:44
nowadays. So, you know, just get after
2:46
it and seek it out, you know. How did
2:48
you master Master of Puppets? And what
2:50
did you think of the song choice for
2:52
Eddie's iconic shredding and the upside
2:54
down scene? I've been playing guitar for
2:56
15 years. So, it didn't take me that
2:58
long to master the song.
3:01
Um, I just looked up a YouTube video.
3:03
Like I said, you know, YouTube videos
3:04
have are YouTube is everything. You
3:06
know, you can find anything on there.
3:08
So, I just looked up YouTube how to play
3:09
Master Puppets and I learned it really
3:11
quick and got it down pretty pretty
3:14
fast. And
3:16
um when I first heard it was Master
3:18
Puppets though, I was like, "Oh my god,
3:19
Master Puppets and Stranger Things."
3:21
Like this is crazy. Um you know, cuz I'm
3:24
I'm a metal head and I love it's like
3:26
one of my favorite shows. So it's like,
3:28
you know, I blown away, you know. Did
3:30
you have any memorable interactions with
3:32
any of the other cast or crew while on
3:35
set of Stranger Things? I got to talk a
3:37
lot with like the the hair and makeup
3:39
people and the costume designers and
3:42
stuff and and that was really fun to do
3:43
and like sit in a chair and like put the
3:45
wig on. Um
3:48
and and another or one of the people
3:51
working on set has had known me before
3:53
because I'm also known for not just the
3:55
Eddie Monson thing but also for uh um
3:59
for a video I went viral on YouTube with
4:02
a with a band called Steel Panther. I
4:03
played Eruption when I was 11 years old.
4:05
So, look that up if you haven't seen
4:06
that. Um, so yeah, it was kind of cool.
4:09
And then, you know, the cast, um, seeing
4:12
meeting the Duffer, meeting the Duffer
4:13
brothers, uh, meeting Joe, seeing Dustin
4:17
was cool. Gain Marzo Dustin that was
4:19
really cool to see him and talk to him a
4:21
little
