Arcade Fire Give Intimate Interview

19th March 2007 | by Gavin Riley

We've covered Arcade Fire quite a bit here at Strange Glue, but we've never quite had the access granted to of Paul Morley of the Observer.

Whose paper splashed across its front page: “Are Arcade Fire The Greatest Band Ever”?

"U2 tried to persuade Arcade Fire to join them as they continued their world tour, one that was to visit Japan, South America and Australia, and end a few months later in Hawaii. It was a tempting offer, and Bono used his most l owery persuasive powers to convince the group to come with them. 'I wouldn't want any other group to support us ever again,' enthused an infatuated Bono.
