Wasn’t the eye and hand of vecna things well before they actually created the backstory of vecna? Like his eye and hand were super powerful items, but that was it about the info on vecna. Or am I misremembering the sequence of events

This is correct, and the only reason why Vecna being in Eddie's campaign in Stranger Things makes sense, since that season is set in 1987, and the Vecna campaign didn't come out until a few years later but the items did exist.

Stanger Things plays fast and loose with when things were released. Someone did the math and Master of Puppets likely only came out a mere two weeks before the episode it appeared in takes place. You have to really suspend your disbelief for these things in that show.

Nah, i can def see kids that loved the band back then being able to get it down in a week. Get yourself a tape and keep replaying until you have it as close as you can
