Nancy in PremierGuitar:

What was the night of the induction like?
“It was both an interesting and a beautiful experience. When we played alongside the original lineup of bandmates from the first version of Heart, there was a lot of water under the bridge and a lot of injured feelings along the way about how things were left. So when we got back into a room with each other and rehearsed, I think they kind of remembered us better, like, “Oh, wait a minute—they’re not just these big dominatrix bitches!” We wanted to put them at ease so that we were honoring them and everything they contributed to this huge history called Heart, too. I think they were pleasantly surprised, which was a really great thing about the whole event—we buried the hatchet, in a way. The other great thing was how forthright [Soundgarden singer] Chris Cornell was with his induction speech. We had asked him to sing and do some things with us along the way, and he’d always been elusive about it so we were really flattened and flattered that he was so incredibly wonderful in his speech and gave us our rightful place in Seattle history. It’s a long and rich history, that Seattle music scene.”
