WATCH: Michael Fassbender and Jimmy Fallon’s epic air guitar battle made for great TV

Conor Heneghan

Featuring the best version of ‘Duelling Banjos’ since Father Ted.

We saw him show he’s well able to hold a note back in his hometown in Killarney earlier in the year and Michael Fassbender was once again illustrating his musical ability on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night.

Sort of.

Fallon challenged Fassbender to an air guitar battle and the Kerry man proved to be a very enthusiastic participant, even ‘swapping instruments’ during his version of ‘Crazy Train’ by Ozzy Osbourne.

The pair of them saved the best until last by joining up for a version of Duelling Banjos, which brought to mind one of the best examples of the song in the history of television.

Never gets old.
