I think some of it has in various forms.

Some of VR stuff has definitely been confirmed as coming from the GNR days. I think Axl himself said FTP was being kicked around in the post UYI fog.

The problem I always felt was they stopped writing songs together after AFD. It all became individual efforts, an Axl song with a Slash solo in the gaps or visa versa. The days of all being in a room together and writing songs about drinking and fucking ended when the royalites from those very same songs started coming through.

By the time UYI came round it was partly stuff from the AFD days that hadn't worked on that album or wasn't finished and partly individual efforts that they all brought to the table. I think the only track credited as being co-written by the four of them on UYI is Bad Apples. A solid track but hardly anything of note when held up against what had come before.

By 94/95 they were all out of music in the vault and very different people from the ones who'd written AFD the best part of a decade earlier. They had to start a fresh album with no direction and without their previous engine room song writer. The lead singer was usually MIA, the lead guitarist was still strung out on heroin and the bassist was sober for the first time in 15 years. Meanwhile the hangers on chose a side and waited to see who'd win.

As you say it's a shame that energy couldn't have been channeled into something more but who knows, maybe we'd have just ended up with an album of Bad Apples.

Makes you wonder if Axl even knew Adler was even rehearsing with Slash and Duff. Maybe Slash and Duff are to blame here for letting Adler think he had a shot at something he was never being considered for (outside a guest spot or two).

Looks like Angus made an appearance at the Sydney show.

Whole Lotta Rosie and Riff Raff played.

Eye in the Sky - Actually pretty enjoyable, didn't have high hopes but I liked it.
