According to a local newspaper, Aftonbladet, the couple played the legendary English metallers' music to get payback on a new couple who moved in nearby. Some neighbors say the issue started in October when the new neighbors had a loud, rowdy sex life that would go all night. The unnamed elderly couple, an 81 and 71 year old, decided to take the law into their own hands. They decided to drown out the new neighbors by cranking up the stereo to 11 and blasting Iron Maiden.
Ironically, the police were called and had to force in the door while "Afraid to Shoot Strangers", the Gulf War epic written by bassist Steve Harris from the band's 1992 Fear of the Dark album was playing. Thankfully, despite the song's title, no shots were fired. There was a charge of harassment issued to the couple by police, but was later dropped.
