Ive seen Maynard give 2 reasons for playing shows with his back tothe audience.
- Camera flashes. He cant stand them during a show. Says it breaks his focus / intimacy of the performance
- APC shows he was just angry at kids moshing so he played several shows facing the back as well.
He also says he used to dress up / paint himself up cause he didnt want to be recognized in the public when he's out just being a father to his son Devo.
The entire band is completely all about their music and the art of it and dont want to be celebrities themselves.
