The "douchebag" in question has done Adams guitars for over 6 years.
Guitar rigs occasionally have problems; that's one of the reasons he's there.
Every night before "Wings" he has to go onstage to set up Adams control pedal for his "tremolo cabinet" effect on that song. Between "Wings" and "Lateralus" he goes back out to remove it. Often the song starts before he can get out of there.
The monitor engineer, the stage manager, and the head of security are also offstage on that side. When Maynard makes that motion it usually is a signal to one of those guys. Either he wants something out of his monitors that is too loud, or he sees something going on down front that needs attention. I don't think it was directed at Adams tech.
