Watch the video below.

Paul says: “How do you know when you’ve gained your producer’s trust?

You ask him this question:
"Hey John, can you set up a vocal mic? I want to recite a poem about turtles in a Ringo Starr accent, and then launch into a ferocious groove with the band, and then back to the Ringo part, and then back to the ferocious part a few more times. We’ll cut it all live too".

Gilbert shares:
“Yes! I am building a tradition of cantankerous rock songs. "Get Out of My Yard", "Everybody Use Your Goddamn Turn Signal",  "Enemies in Jail", and "Atmosphere on the Moon" (a song about moving to the moon to escape from auto-tuned music on Earth) are melodious rants from my past albums.
