I wonder if it will just be for an EP or a single song or something. Knowing Melvins, it's probably a cover tune!

This could be very interesting not only is it likely Mayorga will heavy them up a bit but I would love to hear some Melvins double drumming action again too. Hopefully it's at least an EP or something nor worth the bother if it's just one song.

Fuck yes. Even if this is like an Electroretard take on a classic Melvins tune or cover, this is shaping up to be very exciting.

I wonder if this was long in the planning or simply developed naturally out of the recent tour together. Truly it is interesting who Melvins end up collaborating with. Some times these meetings of bands on tour result in nothing recording wise. Then other times it seems to kick start a bit of a back and forth. I know precious little about Ministry or Roy Mayorga so i don't really know what to expect. I hope it goes in a bit of a different direction than the previous two drummers thing with Coady.

Found this too.

The peak period of Ministry was Land of Rape And Honey and Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Touring was 2 drummers. Hopefully they're recreating and covering something from this era. I don't believe they (Ministry) have done it since. And Roy was never a part at this time. My guess is they are all a fan of this time also. My favourite part of Ministry. Even add a Revco cover to make it a full EP

Mayorga was a big piece of the excellent  amebix reunion record. Amebix played slow and heavy like a lot of melvins tunes. I'm excited to hear this.

I wonder if they will ever tour with Roy. He seems like quite a busy guy with the bands he is involved with. It would be strange at first to see a two drummer line-up without Coady.

[))))((((]

I'm probably way off base here, but i like to think that post-Bad Mood Rising, this recording with Roy will be the next Melvins album. It may not of course, could just be an EP or a couple or songs but anyway how do you guys feel about him if he became a proper full time member? A real Melvin! I know we have had the two drummer thing before and i guess it would have a slightly different feel a second time around. I wouldn't be averse to him being in the band but i think i would prefer it to be a short lived era. Perhaps just for a tour or whilst promoting something new that he features on.

Roy Mayorga is the drummer in Ministry he's not going to leave them for the Melvins.
