## Summary

Liam Gallagher has praised Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown as “the coolest geezer ever”, describing the pair as having become mates. The story presents their connection as an example of working-class musicians earning wide recognition while retaining an identity often dismissed as “lowbrow”.

In a 2008 interview with Rolling Stone, Gallagher said meeting Brown was another way to measure success.
