Best Answer

His palms get cut a lot due to the high amount of palm muting he has to do on tour. so he protects them with the tape. Palm muting is a technique where you touch the strings with your palm where he put the tape. There's a lot of palm muting in Metallica so you can imagine he'd need it.
