DEATH MAGNETIC: BETTER, SHORTER, CUTTED – THE AUTHOR SPEAKS!
Thursday, September 11th, 2008 at 2:30pm by Vince NeilsteinSo remember all of one day ago when we posted that some “enterprising young audio engineer” had recut all of Death Magnetic to make the whole thing “better, shorted and cut(ted)”? Well, said enterprising young audio engineer emailed us a mere hour or two after the post went up, and here’s what he had to say:
hey -
i’m the ‘enterprising young audio engineer’ that made death magnetic: better, shorter, cut. i knocked it out last friday (9/5) in about six hours using a copy of peak pro (2 track stereo editing program). i then posted it to a couple of torrent sites on 9/6 as “better shorter cut” — it almost sank, but then somebody else re-posted it as “better, shorter, cutted.” why, i don’t know, but god bless ‘em…
basically, i just wanted a new album by metallica that i could listen to without getting irritated by some lame lyrics or ploddy riffs that go nowhere for three minutes before turning into something cool. the original version of death magnetic is the best thing that they’ve done since …and justice for all, but it ain’t great. my version is great.
if the dudes in metallica see my re-cut as a slap in the face, well, they can download two of my albums for free off my website – Henchmusic.com – and cut them up and distribute them any way that they want. better yet, they can hire me to make sure that they don’t include any sucky parts on their next album.
there’s no need to print any of this, but hey… “the more you know.”
all the best,
Hench

Imagine if someone did this to Serj Tankien’s solo album…
it would still be really, really bad?
Imagine if someone did this to metalsucks.com…
All they’d have left is articles by Dallas Coyle.
Haha I laughed my ass off at Ian P’s comment. So fucking true.
exactly what I was thinking dthrasher
That was a classic from Ian P there.
Please someone make The Blackening better, shorter, and cutted. Take out the “I won’t pray for you” and other drivel…
PLAGIARISM!

henchmusic.com seems to be back up – weird stuff.

fuck you, you un metal fuckhead. if you dont like death magnetic, dont fucking listen to it, the metal community will do fuckin great without you, you downloading scene/poser faggot.
The edit is better than the original album, no question about it. The man did a great job :)
Now if only he would do the same thing to the GH verision of the album so we’ll finally get a great album, both sound and composition wise :D
@Hench is the greatest:
FUCK YOU
