Slash – “Where Do I Begin (Theme From Love Story)” [Song Review]
Guitar icon, comic book hero, or global phenomenon, who is Slash to you? The choice is yours; like in South Park, is Slash even real or simply fictional? As the story goes, Slash recorded this version of “Where Do I Begin (Theme From Love Story)” to honour the death of good friend and film producer Robert Evens, who died one year ago to the day. Continuously restless, between working on horror movies, Guns N’ Roses, or Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, Slash can’t sit still to save his sobriety. He went from being an alcoholic to a full-blown workaholic that never rested on his laurels, to begin with. Once an addict always an addict.
This beautifully romantic, out-of-nowhere track is dedicated to Evens who was known for his production work on Rosemary’s Baby, The Godfather, and Love Story, and if you ever saw GnR back in the day, the world is familiar with Slash’s Godfather guitar solo. To hear “Where Do I Begin (Theme From Love Story)” is like an extension of the past and into the future of all things evening/night and European. Like fine wine served with a platter of steak, lobster, and a 1959 Les Paul, this is perhaps Slash’s most majestic and pleasing work to date. In the cartoon world, it’s the perfect serenade to the Italian restaurant alley scene in Lady and the Tramp. Now that’s a spicy meatball!
For anyone who still thinks Slash is a figure of imagination, rest assured that while he may appear and disappear like a mythical creature, his legacy resides in documented proof on songs like “Where Do I Begin (Theme From Love Story).” As we inch into Christmas, this should tide you over through the holidays until the elusive top hatter decides to snake his way back into your life.
