Edited versions of Talking Metal on Fuse episodes 1 through 6 are available on Fuse TV's Uranium page on Joost.
The theme music on the Talking Metal on Fuse pilot episode was composed and performed by Rob Halford and Mike Chlasciak. Chasciak said, "In a nutshell, it is your ultimate metal headbanging mayhem with Rob screaming over it."
In episode 6 of Talking Metal on Fuse, Zakk Wylde, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Mark Strigl, and John Ostronomy compose and perform a new original Zakk Wylde song called "Till the End."
Chad Bower of About.com said, "I've watched all the episodes so far and have really enjoyed them. Ostronomy and Strigl have done the Talking Metal podcast for quite a while, and really know their metal." He added, "One of my favorite parts of the show is when John and Mark jam with various metal musicians like Exodus. The only part of the show that I dislike is the cheesy, annoying masked announcer".
A review of Talking Metal on Fuse on The Daily Rock said, "Talking Metal is a well produced program with slick graphics and has some good segments such as when they went bowling with Hell Yeah..." The author added, however, "I could also do without the guitar masturbation [sic] by the 'musical director' Mike Chlasciak as well as the dude in the mask" and "For a show called 'Talking Metal' – they could spend more time – um – actually talking about metal."
