The word "decline" is too strong to describe his life over the past 20 years, so I broke it up to devide the events of one year from everything else. --johntindale (talk) 22:57, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

At the time Fenholt auditioned for Tony Iommi, Black Sabbath technically did not exist as a band. Following the abortive 1984 lineup of Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and American vocalist Dave Donato, Butler and Ward departed (Butler for solo projects, Ward to continue his recovery from addiction), leaving Iommi on his own.

Tony Iommi likely does not own the rights to the name "Black Sabbath" anymore following the reunion of the original lineup. It has been stated that Sharon Osbourne stipulated that Iommi not record under the Sabbath name unless such a project would involve Ozzy Osbourne. He has released three solo albums since the original lineup reunited, two with Glenn Hughes.

Bootlegs of Fenholt's audition tapes (usually titled "Star of India") have circulated for some time and can usually be found on eBay.--MarshallStack 04:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

This article is focusing on one minor aspect of Jeff Felholts life, i.e. his association with the band black Sabbath. This article gives very litle information on the man, but seems to be a place for majoring on a minor aspect of his life. The fact is that he sang with the band who were formerly known as Black Sabbath. Big deal. Why make this such a big issue in the article.

Fenholt built the majority of his career based on the fraudulent claim that he had been a vocalist with Black Sabbath. Hence, the majority of his article on Wikipedia is about said fraudulent claim. - Chadbryant 07:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
