The Scraped thread

The title says it all, everything about the song goes in this thread.

In my opinion, this is THE ROCKER on Chinese Democracy.

It's hard, has a thumping bassline, and a kickass solo.  Tell me you don't hear a Van Halen influence at the end?

Scraped is the Jungle of the 21st century.  It will be played in stadiums and arenas worldwide as the new sports anthem.

It's the perfect song to listen to while working out.  You also listen to this song before you go out behind the bar to beat up the guy who touched your girlfriend in an inappropriate area.  After listening to Scraped, you will be convinced that you can do anything in the world.

Sometimes I feel like
There's nothing that's stopping me
All things are possible
I am unstoppable

Simple, but so powerful.

Also, I got the feeling this song used to be called "Atlas Shrugged."

Sometimes I feel like
The world is on top of me
Breakin' me down with
An endless monotony

this is my 2nd favorite song 

[la-burning]

It's excellent - but so is the whole album! It's been a long time since I've bught an album that rewards with new aspects on almost every listen!

[Vegar]

Wow. This is my first post i ages I think. I have just heard the whole on myspace.
Can't think of all the years, hanging both here and other places, thinking about chinese democracy. Its finally here.

What a great album. Im stunned! First take on the 3 completely new songs for me after hearing 'em 1 time:
Scraped- the immediately favourite. SO powerful!
Sorry-I think this may grow on me alot. I like it after hearing it for the first time. Seems like some kind of Metallica in the instruments, I don't know, this is all to much happening to fast 
This I love- so sad, so brillantly beautiful. Feels like a wanna cry.

this is going to be played a lot during the next days and years 
Can't wait for the real album in my hands, have pre-ordered it from 3 different places so that I hopefully get it soon...

My favourite Axl vocal on the album, especially on the verses. Good song too.

[willow]

this needs to be on every hard rock station out there!

[mrlee]

i love this track.

Dirty funky metal groove!

[bloodyhell81]

great song, good rocker track love the chorus

[hooliganscomics]

Balls to the wall rock n' fucking roll. Love this song. Adrenaline charged lyrics and guitar solos. I LIKE IT A LOT.

This song snuck up on me. At first I wasn't all that impressed but found myself humming it a few hours later. When I went back to check it out again I found out why I was humming it; there's a ton of stuff I missed. Here's another song where the intro hints at the rest of the song and keeps making an appearance throughout, cool idea. The solo on this is yet another great one, although weak at the end of it. The way Axl comes back in vocally deserves to have a bigger finish to the solo.
4/5

[Journeyman]

Its a bad ass lyrics in this one eheh. We missed that! Great song once again!

[freedom78]

A grower, for sure.  First listen found me very unsure.  The harmonized vocals at the beginning took me completely off guard.  But it grew on me quickly.  Now it throbs like a giant tumor.

[fangbutt]

this song is cool, but i feel like it should replace shackler's at track 2 and shackler's shouldn't be on the album at all

[Mobenrad]

It's alright. I gotta get used to it.

Am I the only one who thinks they recycled some of the melodies from Oh My God (a song that was "scraped" off CD ?) on this one? Listen to the verses from  0:33 to 1:00 into the song.  The "sometimes I feel" part. Sounds a bit like the verses before OMG?s chorus to me.

Anyway, there?s some HIGH singing on this one. If tribute GNR bands want to add CD songs to their repertoire they will need to start carrying a helium tank around  .

No you're definitely not the only one.  It definitely sounds similar.  I said it when I first heard the song.  There are definite elements of "Oh My God" in this song...while I didn't dislike "Oh My God"...this song is more accepting by my ears...it's a good tune...although I don't think it will ever be a single...

I get this on several songs, especially Scraped and TIL...like monkey/man missing link shit...they sound familiar but new.

This is a GREAT SONG, one of my favourites.
