What Are Some Easy Rock/metal Songs to Play Lead Guitar?

Keep the lead guitar questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: I’m a beginner at electric guitar and I want to learn to play rock/metal songs but I need to start with easy songs with licks and riffs.
Thanks
Answer: YES TO JESUS OF SUBURBIA!
Honestly, learn the hwole album! You can get the songbook for guitar, which is official with the tabs for rythm and lead with the melody, tempo, and lyrics brand new for like 20 bucks! It is a wonderful album, and also has solos that would definitely help you! Not to mention that it is just a great album to play as a beginner, gives you a good ground. IT requires speed and memory to the utmost, being it has 2 songs that are around 9 miutes long, and 3 that switch around 4-7 chords so much and fast that it gets rather confusing.

The album is America Idiot by Green Day,
google the songbook, or amazon/ebay it. get guitar edition.
