He bit the head of what he thought was a rubber bat that someone threw on stage.
Turns out it was not rubber.
As for the rest. He was an icon. It's hard to see after the fact why something is revolutionary. Retrospectively it all seems obvious.
Like Newton and gravity, or calculus.
It doesn't look mind-blowing because everything that comes after it is influenced by it, and being first to start a new sound is only obvious if you look at the timeline.
It’s understandable that he thought the bat was fake. But he bit the head off two doves too: https://kiisfm.iheart.com/content/2022-01-24-theres-another-...
The rest is more interesting though. Which new sound did he create? Again, asking in earnest.
