Create a Song with Flying Colors and Their Team - Estimated Value- £1,000+

Flying Colors have donated this experience to the Heavy Metal Truants to support Nordoff Robbins, Childline & Teenage Cancer Trust

This auction is for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Got a song? Work with Flying Colors and our team to bring it from conception to shiny master! Make some serious music, and have some serious fun doing it. Start by sending your demo to Mike, Neal, Steve, Casey and Dave. They'll each listen, and send you back their individual, creative feedback. Then, hit the studio with Bill, and track your masterpiece with mirth and fervor. Next, have your song mixed by Rich Mouser, the man behind our albums, Second Nature and Second Flight: Live at the Z7; as well as every studio release by Transatlantic, Neal Morse, and Spock's Beard. Next up, give your song the final polish with mastering by Dan Shike, the golden ears behind our #1-charting Live from Europe, and many other chart-topping albums. It's the full Flying Colors experience!

Flying Colors - a progressive supergroup featuring the talents of Neal Morse, Casey McPherson, Steve Morse, Dave LaRue, and Mike Portnoy have offered their services to help you work on your next big song idea. Flying Colors is an American supergroup, Mike Portnoy, Dave LaRue, Casey McPherson, Neal Morse and Steve Morse. Together they create a unique fusion of vintage craftmanship, contemporary music and blistering live performances.

Conditions: The bid includes exactly the items mentioned in the description. You're only responsible for your own studio time and Bill's travel expenses; he'll be there as scheduling allows. It's your song, so obviously you're responsible for writing and performing it. As this is for charity, we're not looking for Flying Colors to be used in promotion. Please keep your song under six minutes; no epics! If you have any questions about this auction item, please just ask. Casey's hat not included. For further clarification regarding the auction itself directly from the Flying Colors manager, please email [email protected]. The auction winner will be notified via email and will receive further information on the experience once payment has been received. Need additional information?

The Cause

The Heavy Metal Truants is a charity cycling group co-founded by Metal Hammer’s former editor-in-chief, Alexander Milas, and Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood to equally benefit three charities: Childline, Nordoff Robbins and Teenage Cancer Trust. To date, it has raised £338,000.

Now in its fifth year, the cycle ride consists of an annual, three-day, 164-mile pedal from London to the Download Festival, and it’s open to fans, bands, and industry types alike. A component of these fundraising efforts is the annual Monster Rock Auction, featuring rare memorabilia generously donated by the great and good of the rock and metal industry.

"The Heavy Metal Truants are an extraordinary group of people," says Alexander Milas, "but what's really remarkable is just how supportive the greater musical community has been with such generous and unique donations. We hope you’ll enjoy, bid generously, and please keep checking back as we’ll be adding more in the coming weeks!”
