Trying to learn more metal riffs. I'm not really a beginner, but not really intermediate yet. I've played off and on for years and years, but never took it too seriously.

So my question, what are some rather simple but fun metal riffs/solos to play?

Easiest one I can think of to get you started is Virus by Iron Maiden. Just follows the vocal melody, very simple.

After that I think some early Metallica ones are pretty easy, never learned any of those myself.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Pink Floyd - Mother (OK, not really metal, but still a good and relatively simple solo)
ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses
