My son listened to these CDs for the first 12 weeks of his life, nonstop, to help him sleep, and now he still loves them. They soothe him and we can sing along to help calm him down. This one is so fun, especially for parents who grew up in the 80s.

Not only did this cd play continuously for 18 hrs of labor but it is also my son's favorite night time cd. He used to fuss and fit sleep at night. When we moved him from our room to his crib we started playing this cd. Now whenever he hears it he settles right down and is sleeping with in just 10-15 minutes! It is also soothing for us to hear over the monitors without losing our minds! We can sing along in our heads to the "real rock" song instead of cheesy lullabies making us feel annoyed!

I gave this CD to a very good friend of mine who loves Gun N' Roses. She told me that it was the best baby gift she had revived next to the stroller. She plays it in the car when she and her daughter are doing errands.

Good thing I previewed this before I bought it. Maybe I am just tone deaf, but none of these tunes sounded like the GNR songs they were supposed to be. They kind of sounded like listening to a marching band try to play GNR on the bells. We got the Metallica one and it is so much better. Little dude rocks out.

For a GNR fan this CD is great! Baby likes listening to it and mom likes listening too. :) Five stars

I loved GNR and I love this CD! I play it through out the day for the baby and when I sing along to the music he loves it! No more twinkle twinkle!!

We started playing music in our infant's nursery after our first visit to his daycare, where we noticed them playing music in the crib room to provide white noise for the sleeping babies. The idea of a lullaby-ized version of music we already enjoy listening to appealed to us, so we started out with a couple of the titles in the Rockabye baby series. We've enjoyed them so much that we're now up to ~15 of these, if for no other reason than to provide US with some variety as we rock our child before putting him down for the night. By removing the words and playing the songs at a more or less constant volume, they provide a soothing bedtime experience without the sudden changes in volume and tempo that might otherwise startle or excite a child that you're trying to get (and then keep) asleep.

I was particularly excited to try this disc out when it was released and it has more than lived up to my expectations. Although it is not our favorite of the 15 we have (the Coldplay CD continues to rank #1 in our house), it is easily a top 5 choice, and a great way to get your infant started on Guns N' Roses. I would also highly recommend the Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rolling Stones, More Beatles (the first one is not as good), and Beach Boys CDs for people interested in trying out the series.

My son loved music when I was rocking him at night....these CDs are so great b/c I could sing a long in my head while I rocked him and I didn't get burnt out on all the baby lullaby songs. We have U2, Coldplay, Led Zepplin and The Beatles as well. They also helped on long car trips b/c we could put this in and he would conk out immediately and we didn't mind listening to it either.

This is a great way to introduce a baby to the music we loved growing up. The only thing I don't like is that most songs feature only one instrument (xylophone I believe?). I would like it better if the CD was a slow instrumental version with multiple instruments. My other complaint is that they put a few songs on here with TITLES that don't sound kid friendly. I realize that this is Gn'R but I think they should have chose the songs to put on here with a little more consideration for the fact that we don't want our kids running around saying, "mommy, can you please play 'Live and Let Die'?"

Turned out to be unwanted gift.
Parents like Guns n Roses.
But if had previewed, this is not something they would have chosen to buy.
Would not recommend as gift.
