Scraped was written by Axl Rose, Buckethead and Caram Costanzo, first played live on Dec 16, 2009 in Osaka, Japan

The song itself is arguably the heaviest song on the Chinese Democracy Album, and although Buckethead is credited on the track, it seems that Bumblefoot plays a large roll in the final recording. It has been insinuated that the working title "The Lies They Tell" ultimately turned into Scraped

Axl displays an impressive High/Low Vocal switch mid phrase during the chorus' and stays in tune...its pretty awesome if you ask me

The "skip" on the word catastrophe I felt gave this song a sour taste in many peoples minds off the bat and therefore scraped was never given a fair shot, I also believe that glitch is intentional...I think Axl even stated as much in his MyGnR chats

THe lyrical content seems to go from self doubt to extreme confidence, like a bi-polar mood swing, with the vocal pitch mimicking this idea, with the underlying idea of "don't listen to what other people have to say, you can do whatever you set your mind to"
