Iron Maiden Music Used To Punish Noisy Neighbors


An elderly couple blasted Iron Maiden in order to get revenge on their noisy neighbors.
A couple from Stockholm, Sweden became so annoyed by a whistling sound coming from their neighbor’s home that they decided to take matters into their own hands.
Authorities explained that the 81-year-old man and his 71-year-old wife aimed a stereo system at their neighbor’s house so they could blast Iron Maiden music at all hours of the night. The song of choice: Iron Maiden’s “Afraid to Shoot Strangers.”
Police were summoned to the couple’s house after the problem continued through the winter. The couple were known to blast the music until around four in the morning.
In addition to the stereo positioned on the balcony, authorities said they also discovered another music system in on a lower level of the home. This one was reportedly aimed towards the neighbor’s bedroom.
The elderly couple explained that the noise coming from their neighbor’s home had gotten so bad that they decided to fight back. Since Iron Maiden tends to make loud music, the husband and wife joined forces to blast the music from their house.
“We wanted to give a taste of their own medicine,” the husband explained. The wife added that she had resorted to taking sleeping pills in order to get a decent night’s sleep.
Having dealt with the loud Iron Maiden music all winter, the neighbor explained that the constant onslaught of heavy metal music had started to take its toll.
“The harassment has just carried on, I am completely broken down. How can I keep living here?” the couple’s neighbor explained.
For blasting the music from their home at all hours of the night, the elderly couple are now facing a charge of harassment.
What do you think about the husband and wife who used Iron Maiden to get revenge on their noisy neighbors?

I can understand how it would drive you to the point of being demented to be honest especially if played over and over again through a demon system! I think if you were the one playing it you would have to put in ear plugs, not even Iron maiden could listen to their own music over and over again on repeat and that is not criticism on IR, even someone like David Bowie would have to agree with me on this!

I would agree... blimey... what a horrible experience. Even one track of iron maiden would drive me through the roof.

Brian Keenan, who was taken hostage in Beirut in the 1980s, said in his book about the experience, An Evil Cradling, that at one point in their ordeal, the guards played Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing at full blast I think for half an hour or more, again and again. I have never heard it or anything by Dire Straits but I guess it was akin to torture. Imagine being forced to listen to Michael Jackson, the Beach Boys, Elvis, David Bowie-Knife or Madonna -probably best to re-classify the experience as a crime against humanity.

LOL at Stavros... all those people you name really are gentle easy listening compared to Iron Maiden. You sound like my old granddad who could never hear the difference between the Rolling Stones and joan Baez.

Interestingly enough,if you compare Iron Maiden to present day Metal....it's relatively gentle too. I've always considered them a story driven band...their lyrics are often based on classic novels and movies. The band really hit big at the beginning of the 80's, even though they were formed earlier - that's when they really developed their signature sound. They put on terrific shows back then...Bruce Dickinson works the stage like a Broadway ham...and the sets were often impressive too.
This is the song mentioned in the article...listen to it...it's not really that heavy. It's all relative:
