Hi Colin
You can play metallica songs, For whom the bell tolls and enter sandman are very easy.
I think you should look in your cd collection listen to the bands you like
and try to play the songs.

I'm pretty much a newbie and Enter Sandman doesn't look too intimidating. Well, except for the solo.
I'm trying to not start any new songs til I'm happy with Back in Black. Also not difficult (and not 'metal' enough) but I'm having a hell of a time getting the muting right to make it crisp and punchy.

For whom the bell talls by metallica is EXTREMELY easy. EVERY single band in my town have covered it. Same goes for seek and destroy.

Iron Maiden classics are also great to learn and not that difficult. (Wrathchild, 2 Minutes to Midnight)

Seek and Destroy was the first thing that came to my mind. The solo is tough(for me anyway), but the rest of the song is very easy. Plus, it is a cool song.

Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Iron Maiden - The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg
Iced Earth - Dracula
Iced Earth - Something Wicked Trilogy (The Prophecy, Birth Of The Wicked, The Coming Curse)
Iced Earth - Nightmares
Iced Earth - Waterloo
Iced Earth - Watching Over Me
(Those might be a bit of a wrist workout, Jon uses some fast triplets 
)
Metallica - The Unforgiven
Metallica - Seek And Destroy
Metallica - Four Horseman
Metallica - Fade To Black
Metallica - (Welocome Home) Sanitarium
That should help you get started

haha uncreator, id let the kid wait a while before he tries the trooper, it seems easy now but way back when it is a very fast song haha, try anything by metalica, some maiden, alot of hardrock songs are good to start with for metal, scorpians? try rock you like a hurricaine

How long you ve been playing?
Posted by: Guitarman700 Jun 8 2007, 09:24 PM
about 2 1/2 years.
Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 9 2007, 07:18 PM
None of the songs on my list are that hard, they may sound it or look it, but they arent!
I think someone said the trooper was hard!
NAH!
just go back to it, and look at it closely, it has the same chord progression throughout the song pretty much, and teh riffs are pretty easy with just a little practice.
But, the solos are tricky, you want some songs with some pretty easy solos as well to get ya started?

Megadeth - She Wolf, it might seem a bit tricky, but you should be able to get it down, i think its only about 5-6 different repeating patterns
3 Inches Of Blood - Axes Of Evil, basic tapping solo, uses 2 different patterns
Amon Amarth - Valhalla Awaits Me, Simple, Melodic, Very nice phrasing.
Arch Enemy - Nemesis (The Last One)
Arch Enemy - Snow Bound, nice phrasing with a wah pedal
Arch Enemy - Dead Eyes See No Future (Last One)
Arch Enemy - We Will Rise (First One is fairly easy, second one is a bit trickier)
Dream Theater - In The Presence Of Enemies Part 1 Solo (2:10)
Judas Priest - Living After Midnight
Iced Earth - Watching Over Me, Amazing solo, can be a bit tricky at times, but the concept is simple, might take a bit longer than other to learn, worth it though.

Iron Man by black sabbath. easiest metal song i've ever heard. even the solo is easy!
Posted by: JCJXXL Jun 28 2007, 02:16 PM
Most definitely easy! That was the first one I learned.
Posted by: Smikey2006 Jun 28 2007, 05:07 PM
Nemisis by Arch enemy is a great song to learn, it has some fast solos in it but they are very easy solos, just watch your speedpicking for this 1
