Form the largest band the world has ever seen.

We would only play punk rock*, so 250 singers, 250 guitarists, 250 bassists, 250 drummers.
We would make the Polyphonic Spree look like a twopeice by comparison.
No venue smaller than a stadium could conceivably hold us.

* or perhaps free jazz, I'm not sure
see you had a good idea but dont be so square in your instrument choice

get some strings in there Double bass, oboe, violin, cello
a bit of wind, piccolo some flutes
little bt of brass with the french horn and trumbone
jam in many pianos
and last but not least tubular bells
proper orchestra experience ^^
Thats what I thought originally but then I thought that 1000 people would be too difficult to compose for. It would be funnier to have the worlds largest punk rock band.

Well I'd get them to go about recruiting more to my cause, even if these new followers aren't as loyal. Having a personal guard of 1,000 people once my personal army begins forming will be useful. I don't know what I'd do once I got that army though... perhaps set up my own nation. Of maybe just fuck around, both literally and figuratively.

Oh and "invest" in my force for the long-term. Doing some of this "investing" myself too. ;P

dude you have a tyhousand people
you can havea few composers and conducters to keep it organised
and some cheerleaders
In fact, screw the 1000 member punk band idea. Every member would play the accordion. 1000 accordions. No composing; it would be total free jazz improv.

honestly. "flash mob prank" kinda, i would probably waste this oppertunity and have all of them dress as zombies then rush throughout new york and kill as many people as they can with their teeth.... :D and one guy would carry a camera, record it all, then bring the video back to me. i know they would all get killed but what the hell. it would be fun.

March on San Francisco and burn the whole fucking place to the ground.

Why? I think you all know why.

Probably first build a harem, and have sex with the best looking women, that's not rape right? I mean they're consenting adults who are following me out of loyalty not some sort of coercion right? I'd also use some as bodyguards, drivers etc. I'd have most of them return to their normal jobs, but make them give me a percentage of their income (taxed to what they earn).

With all this loyalty I feel obliged to use to take over a country....

I'd encourage them to strive to become important figures like CEOs, politicians, generals, bishops, police chiefs whatever. I'd encourage those in positions of power to start their own cells, in some sort of evil(er) pyramid scheme. If I build enough power and influence, I'll be able to control the government from the shadows while living luxury. Basically a sort of illuminati situation, where I'd award those who served me best with prestige and money.

Do whatever you want inside these guidlines: don't kill, don't steal anything that's more than three digits dollar's worth, and don't rape. Everything else is fair game

I'd make them spread some of my beliefs. And make them earn money for me. Last but not least...


Make them walk through New York/London while playing this song. And they're all dressed as a Spy! Who gets the reference?
