Biography

In the Avenged Sevenfold DVD "All Excess" he recalls that before Avenged Sevenfold, he played in a one time punk band called MPA*, which stood for Matt Porno Action. The Music Of Matt Porno comes through in A7X's music at least the style. He implies that they were not successful. He and M. Shadows (who at the time was singer for the band Successful Failure) formed Avenged Sevenfold. He took the name Zacky Vengeance, stating that he had grudges against many people who doubted his success. He was also responsible for the creation of the acronym "A7X". Stating that the 'A' stood for avenged, and then the 7 stood for seven and the X was for fold .[1] He is also left-handed. He taught himself how to play the guitar when he was thirteen. The guitar he first learned on was actually his dad's. He has a brother named Matt Baker who is with the band The Dear and Departed. He also has a sister named Zina Baker
