i had to start this..

[Mad Arab]

I say keep BB in the Melvins. I am not convinced that they have reached their full potential in what can be done with this lineup.

[(the) Razor]

They've been there longer than Mark D or Lori. What's taking them so long? 

[(the) flutter nuts]

i love the stuff with the big biz boys , but this melvins lite is refreshing , i'd still like to see anything new , i have never been disappointed yet

[Mad Arab]

Well, for one thing Dale and Coady do not have to always play the same thing in time. They could alternate and play different parts. Buzz could start singing without harmony and back up vocals on some songs. Jared could too. They could utilize panning audio sometimes. They could also knock off the messing around and put something really menacing out. I mean if we can come up with different scenarios they could try so can they...it just seems to me that they  have been pretty conservative in their overall song structure and they have limited some of the adventure in the song crafting that they have had in the past as a three piece. 

[ManWithNoName]

I'm tired of the whole argument really.  I love em either way.   Whatever will be, will be.

But goddamn those videos with Dunn are impressive as hell.

What the fuck is this travesty? eyeflys without the noise at the beginning is NOT eyeflys.

I don't know who made this video but they are scum!

No not really, slightly reduced but still pretty much there. Dale's take on Evil New War God would have been interesting tho.

[Candy Dazzle]

Bring on the three piece!

Definately.

They're simply a much better band live & in the studio with three.

[Angus Khan]

They need Coady in the band to attract chicks.  He's young, chiseled and handsome.  The other members are fat and ugly.(forgive me for saying this)

They should make Coady grow a 'stache too ... hell, they should all grow 'em.

[Peoplespoet]

The Melvins lite stuff is very interesting, but I'm all for the line-up they have right now.  They make for one of the best bands I've ever heard.  The double drumming creates a wall of sound that just blows you over.

[(the) Razor]

Wall of drumming is good and all. But don't you miss the offbeat, awkward drums that made them so good in the past as well?

After all this years I'd rather this have been a side project and Melvins kept on going as a three piece but that's just me.
