If I recall correctly, the head biting was an accident.

And it wasn't a bat. It was a bird. Dove or pigeon, IIRC. He thought it was a prop, not a real bird

That was a different incident, when he was negotiating with his label, iirc. I think he brought two doves to release as a symbol of peace and when negotiations went south, he intentionally bit their heads off.

The bat incident is very well-documented, and is definitely a different story.

How do you accidentally bite the head off a bat? That's like accidentally sticking your penis in someone other than your SO.

He thought it was a toy or something thrown by a member of the audience, the biting was deliberate but the live bat part was an accident

If you say oopsie daisy afterwards, it's an accident.

Dude, the internet is full of videos of the latter. As far as I can tell that's a pretty frequent occurrence - your analogy does not hold.

If I remember correctly it was supposed to be a rubber prop, but he didn't check and just went for it.
