What happened to Johan and David?

No matter how good Johan was (or was not, im no expert on bass technicalities), his ego over-rode his usefulness in the band in my eyes. That bass line in Advent when the heavy riff kicks in is the most out of place and detracting thing ive heard in a song for a long time.
 
^ dammit moonlapse! i was going to say that exact thing before i read your post. couldnt have said it better, and by the way, its probably your funniest post to date.
