Bono said, "It was literally coming out of a kind of rage, the sound of a nail being hammered into your frontal lobe". Frustrated, he took the Edge's guitar from him and "hammer away" on the two-stringed chord the Edge had created to show his bandmates the urgency he wanted. During early rehearsals of the song, the group frequently had loud arguments, as lead vocalist Bono was struggling to convey the aggression for the guitar riff that he was envisioning. "I Will Follow" was written three weeks before U2 began recording Boy. The song was issued five times, first in 1981 on a 7" vinyl in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, second on the same format in the United States and Canada, third in the Netherlands in 1982 with a track from 1981's October, in 1983 with a live version of the song, and finally in 2011 with a live version of the song recorded at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival. The song was U2's first music video, directed by Meiert Avis in Dublin, Ireland. "I Will Follow" is the only song that U2 have performed on every tour since they released their first album. Lead singer Bono wrote the lyrics to "I Will Follow" in tribute to his mother, who died when he was 14 years old. It is the opening track from their debut album, Boy, and it was released as the album's second single in October 1980. " I Will Follow" is a song by rock band U2. Page rendered in: 0."
