Special Episodes
On August 16, 2005, Fuse TV announced its selection to become the exclusive cable television broadcast partner for the 10th anniversary of Ozzfest. As such, Metal Asylum would feature the "Ozzfest Video of the Day" on a nightly basis during the tour. On August 19 at 9pm ET, Fuse also premiered Ozzfest 2005: Uranium Invasion followed by Ozzfest 2005: Fuse's Metal Mayhem at 9:30pm ET, which provided coverage of second stage acts. Bands interviewed included Mastodon, Black Label Society, In Flames, and As I Lay Dying.
On November 14, 2005, the 100th episode featured interviews with Strapping Young Lad, Suffocation, and the first North American television interview of Decapitated. It also featured their live performance of "Spheres of Madness" at B. B. King's in New York City. It is one of the only available American television interviews with Vitek from Decapitated before he died in a van accident in 2007.
A Christmas episode, known as the "lost episode," was filmed but never aired. This edition featured mostly Satanic videos such as Deicide's "Scars of the Crucifix." It never aired due to a miscommunication about being pre-empted for Christmas.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or episodes:
“Those of us who are in this world to educate—to care for—young children have a special calling: a calling that has very little to do with the collection of expensive possessions but has a lot to do with the worth inside of heads and hearts. In fact, that’s our domain: the heads and hearts of the next generation, the thoughts and feelings of the future.”
—Fred M. Rogers, U.S. writer and host of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. “That Which is Essential Is Invisible to the Eye,” Young Children (July 1994)
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
