Last year:

Former FAITH NO MORE guitarist Jim Martin, who has reinvented himself as a pumpkin grower, won for the heaviest pumpkin grown in California at the 30th Annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off, which was held on October 13 in Half Moon Bay, California. Martin took fourth place overall with his 1,064-pound pumpkin (photo), which was more than 150 pounds lighter than the championship-winning 1,180-pound monster from Steve Daletas of Pleasant Hill, Oregon (photo). Martin broke his own personal record of 877 pounds (photo), which he had achieved at the 2002 Weigh-Off — enough to land him in the seventh place at that year's championship.

What a trip - hence all of the tatoos.....


Ben - he was at the PGVG 04 spring meeting. Did you get to meet him?

I talked with him briefly about the 419 Pukos.


I'd be willing to bet that he is lurking out there.

Wait, stop! My brother is Jim Martin and he doesn't grow pumpkins. In fact, he makes fun of me for doing it. You must have the wrong Jim Martin. . .

I am really serious here. My brother's name IS Jim Martin, and so was my dad's. . . did they have a secret
life among the vines?

Hate to bring this subject back up, but a local metalhead stopped me the other day and asked about this Jim Martin from California who used to play in the group Faith No More. Said he now grows giant pumpkins and holds some type of California records.

Anyone seriously ever hear of this rocker gone AG?
