The problem is when artists try to recapture their signature sound from years before, usually it just sounds forced and tired.
For instance, I love Slang by Def Leppard. They tried something new and interesting, while at the same time you could still tell it was Def Leppard. Then they released Euphoria and tried to go back to their classic sound...and it was just a poor immitation of Hysteria.
When artists make albums to please a fan base, I always find them lacklustre and it will always get compared to the original, which it will never live up to.
I don't want Jon to make Slippery part two either. Can you even imagine how bad that would be?
