    Guitar World magazine releases tabs for upcoming singles so it's possible he could have gotten a copy of a similar magazine sooner and would have learned the song by then.

    I’ve no idea what tabs are, but I did know several Eddies back in the 80s that could have and would have learned a particular riff in two weeks regardless of school and work load and extra curricular activities.
    I wasn’t doubting the fact, I was highlighting what an incredible feat it was

    It's above my skill level, but yes, it can be done and would be damn impressive.

    If we really want to get all technical, where was the power for the amp? Where were the drums? That was also some hella karaoke singing too. Who was on base?

    Ort maybe this was just a really cool scene and Eddie wasn't doing the entire song by himself.

    Honest Trailers is so much better than Critical Drinker - even if the end goal is the same, to shit on a movie/tv show I like. Anyway, he’s right, what 80s trailer park kid likes Kate Bush. I’d never even heard of her. Of course, we moved to Texas in 1980, so it’s possible had my family stayed in Michigan, I might have known that artist.

    I do not get the love for the Eddie Munson character. I found him to be that one inevitable guy who takes every possible opportunity to be the annoying douchebag who needs to shut the fuck up. And no, old school Metallica is not enough to redeem him. They should have fucking killed him off TWICE.

    1. Someone was buying Kate bush records.
    2. I was Dustin. I liked the "Neverending Story" soundtrack. I kept that shit on the down low though, cuz I knew the Beavis & Butt-Heads would've peeled my skin off.
    So...I'm guessing it was similar for the Kate bush fans? Cuz...I didn't know any Kate bush fans...but...see #1.

    I grew up in a very small Texas town in the 80s and I knew who Kate Bush was.

    I read and listened to a much wider variety of stuff than most of my classmates did, though.

    I seem to recall spring break sometimes coinciding w/ Easter. I looked it up for that year, Easter was March 30th.
    MTV spring break that year began on March 24. Hmmm it appears that was also the first time they aired spring break.

    Season 3 trailer drops

    Me- Hey, Dustin can't have an Ultra Magnus toy, it's one year before "Transformers The Movie" dropped. That whole line synced with the movie cuz the movie was the commercial. :bailey:

    Everyone else- :crickets:

    Season 4 finale drops.

    Everyone else- Eddie can't play Metallica, the tabs for that song weren't out yet! :shakefist:

    I mean, I think the estimate of when they were on spring break is a little off, so the Metallica thing isn't actually a discrepancy unless you consider literally winter in Indiana (with no noticeable snow, and people swimming in a lake without getting hypothermia) as spring break.

    Also what the fuck is a Magnus?

    Like the first half of March 1986 in Indiana saw freezing or below freezing weather. There is no way their spring break was at the start of March.

    Also it's just a fucking TV show.

    Generally, Spring break for k-12 schools in the midwest are the week before or the week after Easter.
    Easter in 1986 was April 9.
    Master of Puppets was released March 3
    Weather reports for Easter/first two weeks of April 1986 suggests warmer than normal temps.

    Why are geeks so fucking geeky? It's a tv show and it was a really cool scene. shut the fuck up about it.

    It was a rhetorical question. It doesn’t matter if it’s cold in Indiana in the spring, but @Fisherman's Worf is correct, they should have tried to make a little more believable. Also that part of Russia should had had more snow and they should have had snotcikles on their noses, but you have to see the actor’s faces.

    If you can't just let you imagination take over and enjoy the story, you shouldn't be watching tv or movies.

    I can, but I hate to remind you again that this is a discussion board and we are discussing the show.

    But, you aren't discussing the show. You are talking about reality interfering with your enjoyment of the show. You're doing it wrong.

    The energies running through the DeLorean would have reduced it to slag, and cremated Marty.
    :bailey:

    If lightsabers are hot enough to melt a steel door, Han Solo should have exploded into boiling soup and chunks that in turn scalded Kylo Ren to death when he stabbed him.
    :bailey:

    If Whoville is on a dust mote, and Grinch met The Cat In The Hat, then the whole Suess universe except Horton is on the dust mote.
    But how are the kids in "Cat In The Hat" humans instead of Whos?
    The Suess universe is broken!

    So now you’re going to pretend that TrekBBS doesn’t exist and that these type discussions don’t happen there every day? You’re also going to pretend that the Death Star constructions workers conversation never happened just so what, to try and make me look crazy or something?

    Finally finished it - I don't get the complaints, I thought it was easily the most epic season so far. I guess the Russian storyline was a bit much but still fun. I'm pretty stoked to see what the next season brings

    The problem with Stranger Things is we know how Hopper's story ends - he rejoins the military and disappears in the jungles of Central America.
