Two different types of official Metallica neckties are being sold in the band's webstore for $52.99 each: ninja star necktie and snake necktie.
Almost three years ago, a Metallica fan with the username "jbjbcs1" posted a message in the band's official forum in which he requested that ties be added to the group's webstore. He wrote, "I wear ties to work. I would love to see some tie options offered by the store to the fans. I realize that a tie may not seem very Metallica-esque, but I would bet you have some takers on this. Styles could include black with a snake, white with the 'Death Magnetic' coffin, '...And Justice' cover, 'Lightning' cover, 'Kill 'Em All' hammer, name icons and logos."(via Blabbermouth)
Another fan, "
In Limbo", chimed in, "
Yeah, if it was like the ninja star logo, or a bunch of little ninja-star logos, that would be fine. I don't think anyone wants to see a tie with a bloody hammer, a grave that looks like a vag. I don't think that's really appropriate work attire. Haha."
