Just to note -it is Robbie Shakespeare on bass, not Bill Wyman, and the open G electric rhythm guitar is Mick Jagger. As far as I can hear Richards does not appear on this track.

Of course this song was impossible to play live. Even though they tried....

One of the funkiest, most electrifying songs I have ever heard. Like much of the Stones’ greatest work, it is at once violent and cathartic, beautiful and savage, brutal and redemptive. It is also deliriously exciting, showcasing the band at their very finest, rocking with a primal energy that propels my soul into the stratosphere.
All the band members are at the top of their game here. Charlie, surrounded by that percussive maelstrom, is magnificent as always. Those searing, crunching guitar licks from Keith and Ronnie are sonic perfection. Bill has never sounded better, rock-solid and dangerously fluid at the same time. And Mick is at his Dionysian finest, howling and wailing those mind-bending lyrics that take the listener on a voyage through a murky and frightening underworld.
Needless to add, the production of this track is extraordinary, with beautiful usage of phasing and echo throughout. To me, one of the greatest, most indelible tracks in the Stones catalog.

It might not be that simple:
«Mick had this one all mapped out, I just played on it. There were a lot more overlays on this track, because there was a lot more separation in the way we were recording at that time. Mick and I had started to come to loggerheads».
- Keith Richards, 1993
« We were trying to, like, wedge guitars into places where they're not necessary, like Emotional Rescue and Undercover. Around that time we were doing a lot of material that was not necessarily made for guitars. Mick wanted to get into that dance thing and, you know, Okay, here we go».
- Keith Richards, 1994

I know these quotes. Thing is, there's a dozen or so outtakes and it's only Jagger playing the ryhthm guitar, and all very similar to the final version.The acoustic guitar, especially the one from the outtakes, could be Richards, but Jim Barber also stated Jagger had asked him to do acoustic overdubs.
It's not 100%, but I place my money on Jagger for main rhythm guitar.

The last time they did something really new and it still worked. (Unless you count One Hit.) For a band like the Stones, I think they did really great, coming up with a song so different from what they used to do, and still sounding like the Stones somehow.

And great bass. The sound of the bass is nice together with the drums. I have always liked the guitarsolo as well. A great track....

I only like the song live. It sounds decidedly different to me live. Real, uncomputerized, raw, funk, jam, great for me while I'm cruising (exercise) outside.
Do not like recorded track.
Give it to me live!

If you're a fan of pre-recorded percussion, drum-loops and click-tracks this is the one for you. Basically, they play over a pre-recorded track.
