The couple was trying to annoy their neighbor
An elderly couple from Stockholm is being accused of playing Iron Maiden too loudly. The couple's actions were in retaliation for an annoying noise coming from the house next door.
The couple, she 71 and he 81, said it was impossible to live with the noise coming from the neighboring house. So, they placed speakers on their balcony, pointing towards the house next door, and played Iron Maiden's "Afraid To Shoot Strangers" until 4 a.m.
The neighbor called the police, saying this had been going on for weeks and that he felt completely devastated. The couple told the police they wanted to give the neighbor a "taste of his own medicine.".
