U2 - I Will Follow - 1980

[MichaelD8393]

Old U2>New U2. Hands Down.

[DonnaSunAgain]

Gratias Deo, for U2 and youtube!

[Emlunz]

Tava com 5 anos...,,,mais tarde comecei a ouvi-los....Muito bom!

[Beatlelover7]

I like U2 and all, but i hate music videos like this when the lead singer doesnt hav anything to hold onto and just act really strange and stupid.

[AninhaAxDx]

Muito masssa!!!!!

[patyherreraful]

U2 ,Cura as doenças...pode crêr!!!

[gixxerboy555]

Bono was 20 here....

[gixxerboy555]

OMG...that was early in the beginning...look how young they were...nice.. :)

[ElmiGod]

Seriously, how can you not like this?

[dazzlinglegwarmers]

U2 is one of those super cool bands that never lost its edge ( no pun intended here) and stuck around from early on and are still going today and they always had an agenda to their songs. U2 rocked the Eighties and rocked my life!!! :D

[governer180]

Haha. I don't know why but everytime I see Bono, Larry, the Edge and Adam as a teenager it just makes me laugh.

[44eelz]

damn they were young here, the drummer was 19...why cant teenagers rock out like this anymore!?!?!

[TheMstrofPropaganda]

Looks like Larry Mullen Jr. had to be home by curfew.

[dillinger9999]

I saw them play in LA a free show on a roof... bad ass band

[aiames]

@dillinger9999 Was that the one they filmed for the "Where the Streets Have No Name" video? That was a while ago.

[MrAmadaeus]

Half of U2 are English! There's a surprise for the plastic paddys in Boston !!!!

[WarEagle8055]

Wow they truly suck. How in the world did these no-talent hacks ever make it out of Ireland? Bono looks like a effeminate prat, dancing around like that.

[SophieJadeHillier]

@WarEagle8055 jealous?:')

[Crackerroll1]

at the time this was as groundbreaking musically as "smells like teen spirit" a decade later..

[SeuMadrugaEmAcapulco]

oh god! they were awesome! by the way, they STILL are!

[vaggg96]

wtf?!?! how can you give them a dislike?!?!?

[spjunkie]

A lonely bar circa 1980: *snorts line of cocaine* u2? Irish? what does Ireland know! They can't even decide who controls their country! Hey Sam give "funkytown" another spin!

[captain139]

the edge had hair!



[myswedishprince]

Just saw them here, in Northern Cali, at Oakland Coliseum ...again!! (Ok, gimme a break, it's been 27 years!...and, my lucky number, 27, no less). Thanks Cornelia, for the 'Round Room' passes!!)...

God, I love these boys... (er, men, don't cha know)...

This may still be my favorite song of theirs. Dunno, but it would take some debating...rock on, you sweet, world savin', babes...

[ThatKrookedVulture]

I just saw U2 last night at the Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA. I was so fucking happy when they played this one!

[SuperBeautifulNoise]

This song/video was made 31 years ago U2 was made of young men then!

[Mooseguy15]

fuck vancouver better not get thier asses kicked today or i swear this cup final is going to boston

[SuperBeautifulNoise]

@Mooseguy15

Dude this isn't their song!

[Niesha18C]

i wonder if they look at this and say, "holy shit!" and laugh.. maybe.. maybe they do!

[ThePaperFalcon]

Back when Bono was cool and not a jackass preaching about Africa and having sex with underage girls. Time is crazy like that.

[8010cookie]

and they say telus creates the "white background" PFFT

[texas4christ]

bono so tortured, larry so young, joy division  and echo so not acting

[jfs77]

i love when edge has hair lol

[lurvebutter]

I am stunned to learn that this song never charted in the UK

[Spoc1012]

I saw U2 live, a couple of years ago. Best experience ever! Next to Kiss.

[rutetuga]

Ehehehe i love it so young guys and the best band of the world was born thank you

[cfpzona]

Because nobody has the balls or talent to make awesome shit like this. Music (and especially rock) died by the late 90's and still hasn't resurged or should we all just say "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" since then.

[Ceejification]

kids in the 80's had this and we get justin beiber!?! what the fuck!

[askl23]

Steve Lillywhite produced both Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden" and this shortly thereafter. I can hear some similarities, especially with the xylophone/glock thing at the end.

[Danfrombackhome]

What happened to U2? They used to be cool but now Bono thinks he's christ.

[OdoubleTO]

wtf lol this has to be silliest thing I have ever seen. fuck these posers, give me joy divison, give me ecgho & the nunnymen!

[cisco9x]

@OdoubleTO There's always a dickhead around. Look mate if you cant stand the fame, the excellence the quality of Good music like U2 then FUCK offff

[NIN8898]

@OdoubleTO obvously you havent realized u2 is one of the best bands of the 80's you have no taste in music, dickhead.

[buioso]

The grandson of Bono is also a great singer!... This boy is the grandson of Bono, isn't he? : )

[fvvzr]

terrible playbacking ;P



[thewinningdays]

larry mullen jrs face at 1:55 : "Why is bono doing that?"

[iguisard]

Bono is doing the running men! I can go die now.

[ExploreDestination]

OMG they look like kids

[coptersoisoi]

Before Bono wanted to save the world and had a million shitty things to say about the country (USA) that he made a fortune in, he was decent and humble. Its why I hate U2 today and love their older stuff.

[mullingartwo]

@coptersoisoi i agree being a fan from 1979 but last time saw them live was 92 to up his own arse but the music up to 92 good

[monsterbeth]

my fav thing is seeing Bono dance 80s style!! great song! :)

[verabj]

Back when they were good...

[PYASASHER]

@verabj they are still good you son of a bitch, what you mean ?

[verabj]

@PYASASHER I can't have an opinion now? LOL That's refreshing! I wasn't even born when this song came up and I love it! But now, no, they are not as good as they were, they are a pop mainstream band... and that's about it. I'm not fanatic to the point of not seeing any change.. it's obvious...

[BCShimDaddy]

I NEED THOSE PANTS!!!!

[likstaroy17]

old musics...

bono mst see it nowadays and laugh about him stage act uhauauhauhauhauhauahuahuaua

[francescadonna]

sad he can't dance!

[dorcik93]

@francescadonna but he does it in a cute kind of way ;)

[RBTAK71]

well throw away your ipod and all your downloaded music and stop supporting anything like American Idol.. I am so sick of the teens today bemoaning the music industry- you killed it, and so did I ... and no it will never come back

[fendermcmarshall]

@RBTAK71 Dont be disheartened Buddy The Music industry is fucked right now but Good Music will eventually make a come back...right??

[shammon1]

Sitting on a hill in cyprus years ago smoking a cigarette aged 16, listning to this....superb holiday memories

[HBsongwriter]

HAHAHA WHAT!!!!

[micktheMaag]

and I did.....

[over18]

gotta love bono's goth attire..

[VPSantiago]

Father, would you give me a lend of 500 pounds?

[muconium]

We truly are living in a musical desert in 2010. The industry just got tired of waiting for the audience to tell them what we want to hear, so they told us what we are going to hear.

[Fatzombie1980]

This when u2 was actually good. Unlike the late 90's and now because now they suck.

[thehognias]

@Fatzombie1980

kill yourself

[MagicHetero]

@Fatzombie1980 joshua tree achtung baby, zooropa is the best u2 era so shut up

[MordaciousFilms]

Early U2 totally beats new U2. Their first two albums are amazing.

[driedhidehills]

Bono's invents the Carlton dance at 1:12.

[eatdogs]

U2 really liked joy division back then...

[nztfct]

so young

[idorou]

you can become better - you can never be young again.

[jon3m2007]

So u can grow out of it!!!!

[marissasinanan84]

ahhh larry indeeeeeeeed!!!

[stardaddyo9]

i played the grooves off the boy lp when i bought it.

[gymsixtysix]

AHHH, Larry

[RideMyBMW]

Bonos gotta bring back the fu%$in mullet...

[warlockboyburns]

the edge is cool as fuck

[BellaVita1890]

Lol! Bono's dancing is hilariously adorable. :) He's my hero, he's insanely amazing as is the rest of U2.

[diatras]

DUDE 1:hey you heard of this band, they're new, called uhhh... U2?They sound pretty good.

DUDE 2:nah man, But the sound of that name sounds like they're trash.

Dude 1, you are so damn right.LOL this conversation could go back to when this song was made.

[jungpulenmae]

A conversation I think I shared a couple times freshmen-sophomore year in high school.

[petyoprinsen]

From the first moment I heard this song I fell in love with their music. Though even in 1980 they looked a bit old fashioned, their music was great and Bono was sweet. For me they never were as good as then.

[amyrachel27]

very young here!

[BearWindAppleyard]

this video has such a cool look, you can really tell it's from 1980 or around that time just by looking at the video and listening to the kind of post-punk sound.

[jeffclemmer]

Their first and Best!!! Well, to me....

[essy111]

Bono def looks like 5th member of the Beatles whats going on here? I think the global elite breed these rockstars in drones and shoot them when they want then bring in the next ones! John Lennon was shot in 1980 U2 got signed in 1980 what does this tell you!

[Rumahuqu]

this tells me YOU should be s**t

[shir1999]

this was 30 years ago!

[danseurd]

Is it me, or does Bono look a little like Adam Lambert??

[DanceParis]

Early U2 was the Bomb baby!

I want them back!

[pdm144]

OMG theyre sooo young here!

[Gen2far]

so as we grow older the perception of reality gets some what tainted bummer for you naked whtever you are . I think that band was pretty good out of the chute.

Got my attention

[DerFilthyThing]

Even Bono had a dorky nerd phase so i guess there is hope for thecool impaired. Sing on brother,play on drummer !

[Afanaboy10]

omg... look at them! :) so young! : ) just kids ..! nice upload thank u!

[nudist0885]

Well "chrisofnottingham",

In 1980 when this video was shot..............2 of them were 19 and the other 2 were 20.

So they were a bunch of 12 year olds (so to speak).

[TheGuardianDemon]

Gawd Bono I really Do Not Like Ya

But I "Will Follow" this video

and Please don't Dance, it's giving me bad New Wave Flash Backs......

Yeah I still Dance like that

[amerika277]

bono, no sweet heart! stop dancing!!! it hurts my eyes!!!

[chrisofnottingham]

They look like a bunch of 12 year old kids dressed up as U2!

[bug1967]

@chrisofnottingham This makes me feel SO VERY OLD! I remember this from the first time around (on MTV) and I was barely a teenager!

[VeniceQueen91]

look at Adam, i mean...hair! ;D

[MrChattyO]

I head this song back in 1981 when MTV went on the air, I have always been a fan of "early U2". Too bad tey went commecial.

[efgraphics]

Mr ChattyO im behind you all the way, old U2 kicked ass, after awhile they just turned to crap. To where i wont listen to new music just the old u2

[OndineV]

I still can't listen to that song without having my skin as chicken skin

[madiandgypsy411]

kcking it old school u2 ROX (=

[Supercrazystar95]

Larry looks so cute <3 :3 And Bono too <3

[pinklotus2008]

One of the best intro to song! I still get chills hearing this kick ass song!!!

[Offdrive3]

Boo! Why is this video as out of synch as a crappy dub japanese movie. i like this early u2 gear, its 'dc' energy still shines.

[Lobotomyu]

Bono looks so damn dazed for some reason looking into the camera and his facial movements seem funny especially at 1:00 into the video.

[AfroSchmuck]

Too much Guinness, but that drummer looks like a baby!

[jamimabrewer]

Oh, the dancing!! As the lead, he probably felt he had to do something entertaining. They should have given him his prop-guitar. I love them, though!

[dsharpe4308]

Love U2...Love U2 amazing Music

[Nefertete1980]

BONO! Stop dancing! LOL!

[offthelinegt]

lol, 1:19 .. Larry's havin trouble hearing the master track hes miming too!

[yomathu]

"your eyes make a circle"- i love the way he says that with a crazy expression, and the leather pants: never looked haater. haha. i adorrre u, bono!

[fembotprincess]

why can't the music of today be like this??

[btomalley94]

I known seriously

[IantheLiberal]

@fembotprincess Because not enough people remember that music once had quality, and otherwise just nod their head when told corporate hip-hop is the new way

[Overlordshadow86]

It can be my friend. :) Check out theses guys, Their on Youtube , On The Job @ crowbar

[MrLexene]

@fembotprincess because today is today..........

[Jaydizzlerocks]

@fembotprincess yeah aye

[geckogirl71]

@fembotprincess Because no one is that good anymore...lol

[ummmmmm17]

@fembotprincess i love seeing all these comments about how todays music is crap coz i completely agree. this is an example of good decent music of the past

[jackh4eva]

Like the arms from Bono..

[darthbane1982]

Bono's mullet rules!!!

[NiamhMatthew3]

and dancing too ;D

[theedge2009]

i have one just like his

[offthelinegt]

i did too last year! .. now ive got the joshua tree length haha

[KevinMallon]

@darthbane1982 But his miming absolutely sucks lol

[thehognias]

@darthbane1982

I would buy his mullet a Guinness.

[MissIndochine93]

They were so youg (and so beautiful lol !)

U2 Forever =)

[Lobotomyu]

Yeah that mullet was the most beautiful of the eighties by far;I think their sister band looks far better when it comes to the members and their persona.Look at Guggi and Gavin friday for example during this period.

[kieran9093]

Great song from a band destined for ......

[therealsoulproduct]

"I WILL SWALLOW!!!" Hahaha, there goes my perverted humor. But for real, I love this song. One of my favorites from the early days. But I always wondered why a lot of their early songs were in sharp keys? They still rocked though. And I love Edge's use of guitar harmonics! Viva U2!

[ffairlane57]

Wrong. The Cure sound like U2.

[sedohrj87]

ohh how the edge has changed lol

[ieshaparsons]

fear me fear me

[padmehum]

good dance

[Ralqh]

i love how bono doesn't catch the camera changes so he's always looking at the wrong camera

[Lobotomyu]

U2 and the Virgin prunes are both great gems of the post-punk scene I cannot decide if I like one or the other better.

[theedge2009]

the edges brother is in the virgin prunes yano! his name is dick evans

[offthelinegt]

Really?? i didnt know that! I new he was in U2 when they were called The Hype

[theedge2009]

ya he left them because he thought they would get nowhere!!i bet ez pissed wit himself now!!!

[NKSgsr]

i like the Fear Factory cover better.

[gmansi]

The best of U2!

[dajzilla]

I remember very clearly buying this album the week it came out back in 1980. I was 15. I was hooked immediately. Bought every album/cd since. Wow...28 years ago. Where has all the good times gone? I fell...old lol.

[jimmywires500]

Ricky Butcher on lead vox!

[nelsoncsb]

"Same here man, 70's and 80's, best time for music. I'm only 14 amd I think this modern day rap and "Hip Hop" is just shit. "

not alll shit but is generaly !lol

pum pum pumm and other things witch rhime with

boommmmmm!

[interfecit]

what do you expect..ff :))

[soakes88]

the fear factory cover sounds far better

[ffairlane57]

Who cares! In 1980, there was nothing that sounded like this.

[lazerdude07]

i wish i grew up in the 80s...

[SPOON007a]

it was a good time to be alive

[jeremyldavies]

Same here man, 70's and 80's, best time for music. I'm only 14 amd I think this modern day rap and "Hip Hop" is just shit. If they call writing a random string of swear words on paper music writing then it has come to a sad day in music. Those were the best!

[vituz79]

Fichissima la camicia di The Edge :-D

[AndreYOLO]

Vogliamo parlare di Adam travestito da Signora in Giallo? :D

[vituz79]

:-DDDD

[vituz79]

The Edge's guitar is a nervous, tribal rythm. Great song

[blondie1159]

top song!

[bernaU2]

one of the best song ever

[mhmmXitsXkelly]

i luv Bono's dancin skillz!

[lerpwlambyth]

Given U2's stupendous fame, it's criminal that you never hear this song anymore. It's miles better than most of their later stuff.

[Paint4U2]

Great,great song!!!

[clash532]

i like the drumming and the guiter and bass are alright but the lead singer is just gay i mean the music itself is great i just wish they worked on getting another singer or change the lyrics they suck but good music

[mhmmXitsXkelly]

bono does not suck if he sucked y do so many people luv him? dont post stuff like that it offends people!

[monica9965]

Back in the '80s, there was a student band at my college called Vital Signs. One band member, who I had a crush on, sang this song every time they performed. Whenever I hear it, it takes me back to a really great place.

[jjlogan2904]

Ahh, takes me back.. Awesome !

[hensupctumana]

remember my youth thanks u2

[seftonise]

I don't give a fuck, but i still think this is their best song ever.

[rohm274]

This is where I get all my dance moves! lol

[AggersandBananas]

goodness they look like they're 12 years old here. bono is adorible. and he does have some mighty fine pants thur.

[brendyby]

U2 THE BEST!!!!!!!! i love them 4 ever

[GaLiF94]

sono gli u2 da piccoli???? LOL

[iluvrey4ever]

is this from their album 'Boy?' because i suddenly rememebered i still have a Top40 shirt frm my college days w a picture of that cute boy in the background (wonder where he is now& how old?!). that shirt was given by a friend, &altho' it's now tattered, i wear it to sleep :)

[lazerdude07]

i think that hes shaking around his hands cuz he has the bell thats making that sound cuz at one point u see him tuck a bell in his shirt
