¡Adios Amigos!, the Ramones' 14th and final studio album, came out on Radioactive Records on July 18, 1995, and the title (Spanish for "goodbye friends") wasn't kidding. Daniel Rey produced, and the lineup that had held since 1989, Joey Ramone singing, Johnny Ramone on guitar, Marky Ramone on drums and C.J. Ramone on bass and backing vocals, charges through it with the same buzzsaw guitar and bubblegum hooks the Forest Hills gang had been peddling since 1974. No reinvention, no apologies, just short, sharp blasts that play like a fond, loud goodbye.
After 22 years spent all but living on the road, the band made one more lap: a tour, a stint on Lollapalooza and a farewell show in Los Angeles in 1996, and then the Ramones were done.
