The Scraped thread

[AdZ]

I've been listening to this song a lot lately, reminds me of the awesome performances of it I saw in Canada!

[Spirit]

Certainly hope the decide to play it Norway! I'm a big fan of the alternative intro. 

[One.In.A.Million]

This song is unique in it's own way, in which we never heard it played live or had the title of the song rumoured before the release. I believe that it's the only song off of Chinese Democracy that we never even had any idea existed until the album release.

As soon as I heard the intro on the 20 sec (or so) album adverts, I knew I was going to love this song. They never played this song in Toronto, so I look forward to still hearing it in a live environment.

The more I think about it, this song should have been the first single. Classic Axl swagger with some huge riffs, kick ass modern sounding solo, etc. 

oh well, no reason to cry over spilt milk. 

[Voodoochild]

Any song of the album could be a great single. This one is no exception and it would show a great hard side of the album.

I also think Scraped could make a great second song in the setlist of the shows, following Chinese. Hell, it could be an awesome begining.

[Ashba Rocks]

i love the song except from the intro whaling, i think it would be better if it just started when it kicks in 

[Nytunz]

Awesome song, it sure is.. the beginning reminds me a bit about, the beginning of Tool - The Pot. I know that the songs are very very different, maybe just because i am a Tool fan, and The bot also starts with Maynard singing in a whole new way...

I totaly love the live intro to this song.!

[Madman 666]

This song was absolutely badass live.  The drum intro is monstrous!  As much as I love it in its current form I would love for them to release a remix with the drum intro and maybe mix it a little more thundering and heavy. 

[Halo69]

The song is great, but it would have been great if it had that intro they do at the shows

^ This version kicks ass, especially the intro by Frank.

I was shocked (in positive way ofc) when they played it in Prague. Great song. But only if czech crowd wasn't that lame...

Fucking amazing night, Axl's delay and the best setlist on Europan tour.

[Buddha_Master]

Scraped is the song that was my least favorite on CD. But fuck me this song is one of my favorites now. Its just really positive and uplifting. I need to hear it when I have to go somewhere I don't want to. It helps me me courage.

[One.In.A.Million]

The first time I heard this was on those 15 sec, Best Buy commercials.

I remember being so excited to hear new music. And I new this song would be a catchy one, from the sound of those overdubbed, high intro vocals. 

[John Galt]

Have always wondered if this had the working title of "Atlas Shrugged" - mainly because of the lyrics especially the "sometimes I feel like the world is on top of me" and then the bits about being stronger .  Atlas was the strong man who had the world on his shoulders .. just a thought  ?

[Voodoochild]

No, Atlas Shrugged is a different song. Axl adressed something about it in his chats in 2008:


Fan: Hey Axl, is the song Atlas Shrugged as epic as the book? Who is your favorite character from the book?

Axl: Song doesn't have all that much to do with the book other than trying to do what you believe in and a line about shoulders not being wide enough.
