"I understand that they use guitar players behind the scenes on nights when they really can't play."
Where's your SOUrce?
If untrue isn't this bordering on libelous?...

Total bollocks in my opinion.
But...on new tracks like Ghost Town and Doom and Gloom they are playing along a backing track, and some guitar fills sound specially good and much like the original recording. The guitar riffs sound the same at every gig as well...

Chuck has MIDI-equipped keys for sound effects on Doom and Gloom (the spooky noises during the bridge and the funky background chirping on Dance, for example), but that’s the only equivalent of a backing track that I’m aware of.

I guess I am making a distinction between tape accompaniment and things that are meant to deceive the audience. Charlie playing along with a rhythm track on D%G and Sympathy don’t really count in my book. Whereas recorded guitar parts definitely would.

Agreed. I am not 100% sure, but having listened to Ghost Town live several times I noticed some very neat guitar licks sounding very much the same.
Also on the Newark 2012 DVD, Doom & Gloom sounds impressing professional, but I don't see Keith and Ron do very much.

Hehe... One might think the Stones should have money to hire competent backing guitarists. But no, they sound like two old has-been guitarists, full of sloppiness, fvck ups and whatever...
