You can try soaking the wall paper with a garden sprayer. At least removing the paper this way won't burn your hands.

Go to Home Depot and pick up these things, Dif, in liquid form A wall paper removal tool, it penetrates the covering to let the Dif work A scraper. A big yellow sponge in the tile section First use the wall paper removal tool and cover the entire wall with the little holes it makes Then, use warm water with the Dif and sponge down the wall. Now, start scraping, carefully. Repeat those steps until you have all the glue off and have the old surface back. If you don't get all the glue off, the new paint will not stick Let me know how it goes, @AielloInc
