Who started the on-stage selfie trend?
In the last few years I've seen tons of artists do this, stand with their back to the audience post-gig and take a picture of the crowd:
(this band is Amaranthe, a Swedish symphonic metal band)
It seems to be a relatively new trend, in the last 3-5 years. Anyone know who started it?

Re: Who started the on-stage selfie trend?
I remember watching a video of the Phantom Regiment drum & bugle corps (I think it was PR, maybe another) do a show in the mid-1990s. There was one long, sustained note and the drum major had his arms wide open, his hands curled up and shaking to keep that note going. The crowd in the bleachers was going nuts. Then, while the band kept playing, the drum major turned around to the crowd, pulled out a little disposable camera, and clicked a picture of them.
The crowd went insane.
It was one of the coolest "selfie" moments I've ever seen and, to my knowledge, the first I ever saw, too.

Ok, ok, I screwed up, I should not have said selfie but I can't change the title headline. Let's not get caught up in the damn semantics or this thread will go 3 pages without ever answering the question.

Iron Maiden has done it
So has Kiss (look closely, it's them)
I think these types of shots are pretty cool.
