“I think the No. 1 for me is ‘Nutshell,” Inez told Revolver magazine in 2015. “Layne was very honest with his songwriting. And in 'Nutshell,' he really put everything in a nutshell for everybody. That song still gets me choked up whenever I play it. I get a little teary-eyed, and sometimes when we're doing the arena runs, especially, they'll have some video footage of Layne. And I look and see me and [bandmates] Jerry [Cantrell] and Sean [Kinney] looking the wrong way. We're not looking at the audience; we're looking back at Layne, and it's pretty cool that there's still that song for us. Yeah, it's just a sad thing.”
