Stone Cold: That's not what I wanted, clearly that's not what I wanted!
Jim: Sorry...what would make it more to your liking?
Stone Cold: You want me to show you something?
Jim: Yeah, why don't you...
Stone Cold: Which guitar can I use?
Jim: The 6 string Acoustic Guitar over there laying right next to you on the guitar stand.
Stone Cold: Jim, an Acoustic Guitar has no place on this track!
Jim: Well, well you know if you play... it hard, sometimes it amazing the depth you can get playing the Acoustic.
Stone Cold: So now your going to tell me Stone Cold Steve Austin how to play the Acoustic Guitar, and if I play
it harder, if I twang the strings harder, that's going to make it sound more Rock n' Roll, more violent!?
Jim: Yeah... Why don't you just pick up the guitar and see what you think.
Stone Cold: Ok, let me pick up the Acoustic Guitar and we'll see what happens.
*The sound of Stone Cold violently picking up the guitar, setting it down and crushing his boot through the
guitar.*
Stone Cold: Ha Ha Ha!
(laughing while he speaks)
Did you see, did you see the way my foot ran right through the strings and crashed in right through it all.
Jim: Yeeaah, I did... yeah I saw that.
Stone Cold: (continues to laugh while he speaks)
I'm sorry but, it's jus so funny!!
