Yep, they are read metal. LOL! I thought they were referring to the music genre but, I guess they meant both. Nice!
They didn't come with their own little gummy-loops that (cheap) earrings usually bring along but, I can see why they found that irreverent. The hooks are very long and the Axes are heavy/sturdy enough. I'm sure  I won't be loosing these while dancing anytime soon.

No EdgeLord, they aren't sharp enough to stab someone with. Although, that doesn't stop me from joking about it. ;D
