Judging from what you already know, I suggest you learn some Foo Fighters (My Hero), Green Day (When I Come Around), Offspring (The Kids Aren't Alright). The songs in parenthesis are just suggestions of songs by the bands.
For some harder stuff, try Tool, System of a Down, Dream Theater, old Metallica.
This should keep you busy for a while.

Standard tuning is EADGBE (from low to high) , for a half step down tuning just tune each string one half step (one fret) down , so it will be D#G#C#F#A#D# (from low to high , # = one half step higher).
If you want to name them with flats "b" instead of sharps "#" , it will be EbAbDbGbBbEb ("b" means one half step lower).
Drop D tuning means to tune standard as you normaly do , then drop the Low E string one full step (2 frets) down to D.

I like Dream Theater a lot , Petrucci is one of my fav guitarists (the rest of the instrumentalists are superiors too) , but my problem with them is that they sometimes get realy boring !
I also tried to make myself to like their singer , and I significantly failed to do that , anybody else shares that with me ?

My opinion is that you should start learning the very basics. Playing other people songs can give you an exercise, but not the whole picture. Start out by learning patterns and different modes of scales or chords. If you learn the different modes you should be able to fly through the whole fret board of what ever you come up with, fitting the theory of music. Start with memorizing what frets are what key. Ill give you something to work with that I am working with, Arpeggios; which is a chord scale. Here is how you come up with -A minor patterns-. The construction of -A minor- arpeggios is ACE. Just follow these keys to come up with patterns. I would post some of my patterns, but I don’t know how to on this web site.
If you play chords, then do the same thing. Find out different constructions. It is best to play both chords and scales, so you don’t need a band with 2 guitar players.
