Man, that comment. Heard so many variation of that over the years. And it's never more than just ruining everyone's good time. Sometimes including the band.

(2) and a druck asshole shouted between songs, "less talk, more music". Patrick's disapoointed expression still haunts me

(1) Went to a 40 Watt Sun acoustic show in Hamburg, Patrick was really nice and chatty, he practically did a by request set

Having seen my fare share of drunk (and not so drunk) assholes in metal shows I'd believe that they were being threatend. Really sad tbh.

There are interviews with Åkerfeldt where he tells his side of that story. Apparently some fans were even threatening them. He seems pretty pissed about the whole affair.

I feel like everything people say about Opeth is so exaggerated, good and bad

There was one tour where they only played new songs and a few old ones with only clean singing. A lot of people were really disappointed. I also saw people leaving on several shows.
