What the hell is going on with Iron Maiden-related things lately? At first it was just within the band, having Nicko McBrain's wife and son going nuts, but apparently that insanity has spread to fans.
A 71-year-old woman and her 81-year-old husband in Stockholm were getting pretty sick and tired of their neighbor's house emitting a whistling noise, so they did what any sane person would do- blast Iron Maiden at it until the neighbors resolved it! Obviously. Apparently the elderly couple's neighbors couldn't stand another night of the harassment and, according to the news story-
The police were moved to act and arrived at the house to find that the elderly couple had placed a music system on the balcony, pointed at the neighbour and playing Iron Maiden's "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" at top volume.
The police furthermore found another music system in the cellar directed towards the neighbour's bedroom wall.
That's… psychotic. My two questions for the couple would have to be why they never just walked on over there and discussed the matter like normal folk, and why that song? Out of all the pounding, ass-kicking Maiden songs, they chose "Afradi to Shoot Strangers." It doesn't even send the right message! Their neighbors aren't strangers and apparently they're nuts enough to blast Maiden all night long at them, so I'd venture to say they're nuts enough to shoot them. Anyway, these kind citizens only had to say about the situation that they were giving their neighbors "a taste of their own medicine."
Well then.
