I don’t think so.
I think if anything the box sets and yet more pressings of appetite is for the label. The singles seem more personal to Axl..that seems very evident when he sings absurd live.
Also if you look at the singles HS & Absurd on Spotify they are released c p Guns N’Roses, under exclusive licence to Geffen Records.
Everything else including uyi box set is UMG recordings, inc.
I’m not an expert but I think that indicates GN’R has more control over the singles.
