"This is the story of a man who is yet to realize his destiny"
"We've evolved...beyond the person we were a minute ago. Little by little, we advance forward with each turn. That...IS HOW A DRILL WORKS!!!"
"That is the path that will lead to destruction. WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THE PATHETIC LIMITATIONS OF THE SPIRAL RACE?!"
"No, that's YOUR LIMIT!! You sit here closed off, imprisoning others against their will and acting like some kind of KING!! That's NOBODY'S limitation but your OWN!!
Remember this! This drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!! And that hole...will be a path for those that follow!! With the thoughts of the defeated....and those yet to come...with those two thoughts, with OVER TWENTY spirals woven into it, THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN LOSE!!
That...is Tengen Toppa!!
That...is Gurren Lagann!!
My drill....IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!!!"
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!!!!!!
Benjamin Doan ^ WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE*
IM THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS AND BEYOND!!!!
+MonkeyxMoo35 My drill is the drill... THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!
I thought the last line was "My drill.. IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!"
I'm on the last episode of Gurren Lagann and have now realized this song is a reference to this. I am so amazed this song represents the show perfectly.
Sad as all hell, mate.
In the Anime Kill la KIll, there is a reference to Gurren Lagann when Ryoko and Satsuki butt heads and their uniforms faces also butt heads...also on the last episode when Gamagoori sprouts a face on his chest
Seriously? "Heaven Piercing Giga Drill" tranlated into Japanese is literally "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann"
EDIT: Actually, i have learned Gurren Lagann is a proper noun, and has no meaning other than the context of THE Gurren Lagann in the anime. Tengen Toppa does translate to "heaven Piercing" though
ChaosPhoenix11 -_- lol i'm slow alright....
Benjamin Doan Trigger are cool like that
The part that always gets me is when Simon comes to terms with Kamina's death, in a moment that, while one of the most badass things ever put to animation, was also incredibly touching. Especially when you see how badly he was taking Kamina's death earlier. Even better, the angst was paced so that it was enough to make you feel really bad for Simon without getting annoyed by it.
These lyrics..
WHO DO YOU THINK WE ARE
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER
BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU
yup lol from the anime gurreb lagann if you didn't know but if you do sorry i told you something you already know
I genuinely can’t believe it’s been 6 years. here i am 20 years old still blasting this shit in my ears on full volume and yet every time i here “smash your head into mine” i can’t not get goosebumps. i fucking love you guys
I would love to see this album remastered/rerecorded at some point!! The guys have improved so much since this album came out, would love to see a modern retake of this track in particular!
Why am I just now learning about this, I literally could not stop smiling the entire time.
Because of this song I watched gurren lagann and the fact that I heard this song first then watched the anime increased the experience million fold. Thank you area 11
ya the "GIGA DRILL BREAKER!" part was like awesome!!!!!
"Believe in the me who believes in you"
~Kamina
One of my favorite quotes of all time.

Impressive work UA-cam.
Area 11 requested that people send in themselves shouting the line ''who the hell do you think we are!'' from this song. then, they're going to edit all the submissions into the song. So its going to sound fantastic.
the reference that will price the heavens
GIGA PRICE GUN!!!!!
2:32 is one of my favorite moments in music. There is something about this one moment that makes me feel like life is worth living and I can accomplish what I want in life
I like how they don't just sing about a song but they even if you listen closely, can hear the entire meaning and story of the whole Anime series!
if you ever need a small spoiler on what an Anime is about before it getting ruined by that 10 year old that cant keep secrets, just listen to this music, and you'll get a pretty good idea! Go Elevens!
Dude you keep popping up at top comments on area 11 songs im like seeing you everywhere i go xD
Junkzx haha i try my best for that :D
Jur Bergs Area 11's songs are so cool can't wait for them to make a tokyo ghoul song
gosh, this song perfectly captures the essence of gurren lagann. These guys are true artists
I heard this song playing at my local bar and grill. I go there three times a week now.
That's pretty awesome!
keeponrockin999 nobody in my local area is that cool
^^^ see what i did
I used to listen to this everyday in middle school, now I'm in 20 years old. Y'all still a bop
This song definitely means a lot more to be after watching Gurren Lagann
Lol I made the connection on my own. I found GL on Netflix and had the song stuck in my head while watching and slowly made the connections.
Anybody else day dream about being in Area 11, than open your eyes and find everyone staring at you?
Believe in the me that believes in the guy that believes in the me that believes in you which believes in the me who believes in Kamina who believes in Simon
I'm currently rocking out to this in school, and everyone just started staring at me, I screamed out 'Who the Hell do you think we are!",
God so embarrassing, anyway ROCK ON Area 11
Unmatched in Heaven, and Earth; one machine, equal to the gods! Super Galaxy GURREN LAGANN! ... We're gonna show you the power... of the human race.".
lol, and that's only the third biggest in the series.
Yeah, they were not at galaxy throwing level yet. Maybe planet throwing level. :D
IKR ^_^
Area 11 = Best band to listen to while playing Racing Games
My drill will be the drill that will pierce the heavens!!!
I used to not be that in to music...Now I have to listen to this song at least once a day.
My Personal Favorite of the album to be honest ^.^
This, Vectors, and Euphemia. Hell, even if you haven't watched any of the anime, they're all great.
Me too its a brilliant song
Colin Monsma Elfen Lied
Colin Monsma Vectors is about Elfen Lied, HPGD is about Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Shi No Barado is about Death Note, Tokyo House Party is about Fooly Cooly, Dream And Reality is about Bakuman, The Strays is about Cowboy Bebop, and Cassandra is the only track on the album that has no connection to an anime.
Zonaloxx Same, for the most part. Every once in a while i will have ATLITS, Homunculus, or The Legendary Saanin be my favourite though. It probably helps that i learned ATLITS on guitar and plan to cover it at some point, but they're all awesome.
This band has never produced a song that i didn't like. Even WONDER WARS, which was their instrumental with someone else's vocals, was awesome.
Sparkles* tweeted that there's approximately 600 submissions for the "who the hell do you think we are" line :')
I'm proud to be one
ROW ROW! FIGHT THE POWAH!!
ahhh the sweet sweet sound of my childhood
Oh, geez.... nerd rock. And it's awesome.
+Paul Russell weeb Rock?
+Artyom “Evante” Platonev weeb Rock.
This the best, most nerdy, most awesome thing I have ever found on the Internet.
Now we just need a Kill La Kill themed song!
Been listening to this song more frequently since I finished Gurren Lagann literally yesterday and I gotta say that when I first listened to this, I wouldn't have realised that it was directly referencing lines from an anime; good job, Area 11.
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE???
I'm sorry... ;_;
Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!
Anyone else realise that the line 'SMASH YOUR HEAD INTO MINE!' Is a reference to when gurren and lagann combine because one smashes into the other in the anime?
I think most people did.
The song is based off Gurren Lagann
"Your Drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens, Now lets go!!!!"
I never knew this song was about my show until I listened to the lyrics .-.
Wtf it's called Heaven Piercing Giga Drill, the title alone should have given it away .-.
YOUR MEANT TO BE DEAD?!?! D:
BROOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;___;
Keith Inglis BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hi ^W^
greenpoisi0n A true man never dies, even when they are killed!
Area 11 is permantly one of my favorite bands
real men don't die…. THEY JUST BECOME MORE AWESOME!!!!
They ascend to GARhalla (at 8:52)!
The Gaming Dwarf YEAH! LIKE THIS BAND!
The Gaming Dwarf Death just make my brights more brighter (Gandalf the grey -> Gandalf the white)
as artorias what a lad
when i watched the first episode i didn't really think it was good but when you keep watching it really gets interesting
I haven't listened to this in years. The guitar from 1:33 - 1:42 still gets me
these songs are freaking awesome, LIKE THEM!!!!!! its one click DO IT!!!!!! AREA11 deserves every like they got
Just finished gurren lagann for the first time, god damn that was fucking amazing. And so is this song.
i love dubstep, electro, drumstep and party music.
and i love Area11
If Gurren Lagann's dub was forced to have a different opening, it would be this.
Hmmm, that'd make a pretty good short AMV.
Too this day, I still listen to this song
And to think, when I first heard this song I had no idea what anime was...
Now I understand that reference.
So do I. I'm just having some fun with you. You can like whatever music you want. I don't really care. I'm actually glad to see DP on a list at all.
A man with deep voice brought me here :)
#Kevin
His UA-cam name is:GoldenBlackHawk if you're still wondering.
You guys should win a grammy.
this need to be played in Gurren Lagann that would be so cool
I forgot this song existed until right now
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!
When you listen to area 11 you gain 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 levels!!!!!! They're so go!!!!
Apparently Gurren Lagann means Crimson Lotus, gotta wonder why kamina would call lagann that.
Lagann is red and the Lotus is a beautiful manly flower that is the essence of eternal life.
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?! is gonna sound ridiculously epic with 100 people shouting it.
If they did a song based on Anohana I would freak out...
Haha same!
Man, that would be one depressing song
Oh my god this it exactly what i though it was, and now im crying, its the good kind
I'm not even sure i like this style of music... But Gurren Lagann so it's still awesome.
You don't like Alternative Rock?
Recoiled Gaming Not particularly.
Oh thats cool, each to thier own. i personally love alt rock
ReCoiL this isn't alt rock, they have stated themselves a few times its a weird combination of a few genres that has been called gaijin rock based on the lyrical themes of the songs
I saw the Name Heaven Piercing Giga Drill and it was the first thing I thought, I forgot about that show, I should finish watching it :3
this song was based of gurren lagan :)
its been so long since i watched it. i finished it but i still wanna watch it.
Is this song based on Gurren Lagann?
It's midnight, and I've been working on a school project for the past 5 hours, all while listening to this album on repeat. Thank you very, very much, Area 11.
even though i know its about gurren laggen, i cant help but think about attack on titan, i mean, come on,
"They won't stop our evolution.
Who do you think we are?
Fight against your execution.
Who do you think we are?"
this part could be talking about the titans easily, especially the 'fight against your execution' bit, and
"It carries the hope of humanity,
And everything we know."
could be about either the basement of erens house or his titan powers or Ilse's notebook from the ova.
As i was reading that that exact part of the song came on
"cut it, cut it out" tots the back of the neck dude
You bugger, Beat me to it
The lyrics are completely built for TTGL don't make this about your shitty typical anime
I was thinking that it sounded a bit like Bleach.
BEST SONG IN THE UNIVERSE.
area 11, Do a soul eater or avatar based song!
They just made an FMA one.... So close enough. :P Also Avatar isn't technically an anime.
@@ChaosPhoenix11 yes it is.... just say it.... you know it feels good....
@@seanlurty4819 Ironically I would consider it one now, i've become a lot looser in 5 years.
Fav bands
1. Area 11
2. .fun
3. Coldplay
KEEP BEING AWESOME!!!!!
is it just me or do the newer versions of heaven-piercing giga drill, euphemia, and knightmare/frame "rock less hard"...?
They had a different guitarist for Blackline. He went back to Cypress so Sparkles re-did alot on a keyboard :P
***** oh yh I forgot that he left, but I would have thought parv could've just redone it himself to make it sound as good as the original, but don't get me wrong I still love their songs :D
The new versions are produced more, (which i personally prefer) but as far as "rock more/less" it depends on your interpretation. I think the new ones rock harder because they are a much higher BPM and have more energy behind them.
ChaosPhoenix11 i guess it is just opinion but I feel that the new cover sparkles* does with the keytar/ keyboard just doesn't sound right to me but I still agree on some of the changes, like on euphemia they cut down a lot of the not needed extended guitar solos.
I like Euphemia NOT blackline better. I still LOVE the blackline, but I really like the not blackline because it sounds more Area 11 material. Not to mention, I heard the blackline first, was like "This is hella good!" then listened to the newer version, and I just couldn't stop replaying it. It was a lot better, imo. To each their own, huh?
This song is probably my favourite song ever!
Give us an Attack on Titan or Sword Art online song!
I watch it when i feel down and want to give up. it is the reason i got into uni.
My drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens...
people call us people from Britain, Brits just thought i would let you know. hey what do you know? you learn something everyday! there's something new for you :)
Cant stop listening to this band!
Simon's character development was great. he lacked self-esteem and optimism at the beginning, but he certainly didn't come across as whiny. he was still a hard worker.
I love how they specifically made a point out of SIMON being the one who initially inspired Kamina to face his fears. Simon was the one who taught Kamina to keep calm and never give up. Kamina was the one who taught Simon to reach for greater things.
belive me or not i loved these songs before i started watching anime and now after two years of listing to these guys ive now started to watch it and it makes it all the better when i then make the links between the anime and these amazing songs
This is my favorite song out of all the songs in all the lights in the sky.
this is my faaaavorate song so far
Rock and roll is still alive
Like its ever gonna die. :P
Yay
One of the best songs I have ever heard. The base of my whole life is music. Without it I would collapse. So yeah f-ing amazing song
every time I hear this song I feel like shouting to the world "just who the hell do you think you are!"
My drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!
Area 11 are a excellent band who I think don't get enough credit for what they do and its unfair. Their music and the lyrics they have put with them is one of a kind and for that I respect them keep it coming area 11 and I bow my hat to you :)
"SIMON! Your drill is the drill that will pierce through the havens..."
Ah, Kamina, your in all of our hearts...
Area 11 has taken the spot of my second favorite band of all time! *.*
I always scream along with those chant bits! I've managed to avoid it when people are around, but I was the only one who did it when I saw them live at Insomnia!
The piano-version of this is so beautiful :)
Favourite song from the album!
the best 1 out of the album
I'm half way through this anime, and now I'm catching most of the references... I know most people watched the anime first, but doing in reverse is interesting, cause I'll recognize where the references came from!
Giga Drill Break ALWAYS works!
and that is a truly awesome profile picture.
My favorite anime of all time.... And my favorite music genre of all time.
Thank you so much
I wish Area 11 had more publicity
you guys should be makeing millions
Don't believe in the me that believes in the you, don't believe in the you that believes in the you, believe in the you who believes in the you!
Ok, Area 11 def has become my new fav band and I have been listening to music for years...they are soooo damn gooood. hopefully you can find someplace for me among your ranks. But to the 11 army and it's leader, every single fan of this band should write a 5 star review of this album on amazon, that is a great way to support the band. They have 19 five star reviews already.....if you are so devoted, what's stopping you? this is how people choose what albums to buy based on reviews on amazon.
