Coincidence I'm sure, for lack of tinkering with. After all, the title track was only 3:22 until they decided to add another minute of intro. Similar to Riad, with the extended intro, and TWAT when they decided to A: add another solo, and B: and decide with either a shortened verison of the solo (as shown by the leak), or the version as it appeared on the album, which added a minute and a half to the song. Same with IRS with the added 2nd solo.
Thats not to say that Axl didnt labour over other songs that we haven't heard before
