In rock band promotional photos, the musicians always have serious faces, sometimes almost a scowl. Why? Why don't they smile?

Your key word here was "promotional"
Record Companies and Management believe that this image is what consumers want to see. And, the guys do wanna look rough and tough. It's just a persona. Sell more records...Sell more Tickets....sell sell sell.
Get these guys (rock musicians) backstage, on the bus or in their motel rooms and believe me, you won't see a whole lotta scowlin! (-:

depends on the music. brittney spears will always be bright and shiny (not to mention nauseating) while slipknot will always be scary, and blink 182 ridiculous. they're putting a face to the type of music they play.
you can judge a cd by it's cover for the most part.

Because they ARE serious about their productions, and not to be taken casually - they have sacrificed to produce their music.
