“today we're going to try and be the bravest souls on the internet and separate the art from the artist.”

Bradley Hall, at 0:32 of “Ranking CANCELED Metal Bands (How Good Are They REALLY?)” on Bradley Hall’s channel.

Around it

1. 0:21 Being cancelled is more of a spectrum, I suppose, rather than just like a binary thing.
2. 0:26 And whether a band is actually cancelled or not is going to really depend on who you ask, exactly.
3. 0:32 Anyway, today we're going to try and be the bravest souls on the internet and separate the art from the artist.
4. 0:39 And rank all of these bands alongside each other based solely on the music.
5. 0:44 Because, you know, oftentimes the drama and controversies often overshadow the music itself.
