Awesome Metal Song in a Standard Tuning?

[Dominik Gräber]

Hey y'all!
So I set a goal to learn a couple of songs front to Back to "perform" them some day. But most songs on my list are in drop tunings and my guitar in drop D is in for repair.
Can you recommend me some awesome metal songs in Standard Tunings? Doesn't matter If it's E, D, C.... Octave E
Also doesn't have to be super easy but if it's got a shreddy solo I'll just focus on the lead part

Here are my top favorite Metal bands right now, for reference.
Trivium
A7x
Bullet for my Valentine
Metallica

More or else any metallica song, except sad but true and a few others. Is your other guitar a hard tail? If so you could start in E and drop down tunings as you go?

Sad but true is in D Standard I believe!
I Just wanna leave this guitar in e Standard because Most of my practice stuff is in Standard too and I really only use drop Tunings for Covers right now

Hollow or this love by Pantera. I think most Pantera is in standard(walk isn't but I think most are).

Revelations by Iron Maiden, Death To all but Metal by Steal Panther, Buried Alive, One by Metallica, symphony of destruction by Megadeth.

I think symphony x is in generally in D standard. Without You is a pretty cool song(they have some other really cool ones too with great riffs too)

Some of these may be in a half step down.

I think that you are learning a few songs 'Back to front.
All the best metal bands play in Standard, Judas Priest, any NWOBHM band.

Edward is 'Back!

Any dethklok song, they’re in C standard and pretty difficult though!

Metallica ...And justice for all has some great riffs, Blizzard of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman are full of great metal songs by the great Randy Rhoads!

Motley Crue is D standard. Almost all 80s metal is E or Eb standard. With the exception of the first track on the latest album, Iron Maiden's entire catalog is E Standard.

Stone Sour is mostly D standard or Eb standard

A lot of Alter Bridge is Eb standard - Godspeed, the latest single, is for sure.
